Method 2: Define each parameter within the getURL() function, as in this example:
on (release, keyPress "#"){
getURL("mailto:[e-mail]?cc=[e-mail]&bcc=bcc@anywhere.
com&subject=I am the email subject&body=I am the email body");
}
Method 1 results in automatic URL encoding, while Method 2 preserves the spaces in the
strings. For example, the strings that result from using Method 1 are as follows:
email+subject
email+body
In contrast, Method 2 results in the following strings:
email subject
email body
