I am getting error while opening the Outlook window stating "The command line argument is not valid. Verify the switch you are using".Refer this link for the error (http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX123773) occurred What could be the reason for this .Kindly help with this issue.

Thanks in advance .

<html>
<head>
  <script>
    var bodyScript = " ";
    var json = " ";

    function ajaxCall() {
      ajax {
        url: function: loadDetails,
        error: ,
      }
    }

    function loadDetails() {
      bodyScript += "Hi" + json.Name;
      .....
      bodyScript += "%0D%0Awelcome to our Camp .Your ID is " + json.ID;
      .....
    }

    function sendEmail() {
      var link = "mailto:" +
        +"?cc=Sam&subject=test&body=" + bodyString;
      alert('bodyString before mailing ' + bodyString);
      window.location.href = link;
    }
  </script>

  </body>
</html>

Try encodeURIComponent(bodyString), there seems to be some characters (possible quotes) that mess with the command-line options:

var link = "mailto:"+
+"?cc=Sam&subject=test&body="+encodeURIComponent(bodyString);

I see that on the example you already urlencode somehow the line breaks. So instead of just using encodeURIComponent(bodyString) you maybe will have to turn it into encodeURIComponent(decodeURIComponent(bodyString))
