Email NSMutableString in Objective C

I am sending a NSMutableString through the body of an email. It will not work because it says senderString cannot by statically located. Help?

NSMutableString *senderString = [[NSMutableString alloc] init];

NSURL *mailURL = [NSURL URLWithString: @"mailto:[email protected][email protected]&subject=My%20Subject%20Line&body=%@"], senderString;
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL: mailURL];

The problem is your inclusion of senderString on the end of the line declaring the mailURL. I'm assuming you're trying to set the senderString as the body of the email.

If that is the case, you'll need to do something like this:

NSString *urlString = [NSString stringWithFormat:
  @"mailto:[email protected][email protected]&subject=My%%20Subject%%20Line&body=%@",
 senderString];

And it's worth mentioning that if the senderString isn't already percent escaped as required for use in a url, you'll need to do something like this first (i.e. before the stringWithFormat call):

senderString = [senderString stringByAddingPercentEscapesUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];

Then you can just construct the mailURL like this:

NSURL *mailURL = [NSURL URLWithString:urlString];

Update: I've added escaping for the percent in %20 and added a recommendation to escape the senderString parameter, as suggested by rmaddy.
