mailto: links not opening mail app on UWP ionic app when the body length is more than 2009

I am trying to open email app outlook(office 365) from my ionic UWP app and I am passing the subject & body as variable string and if the length of the body value is more than 2009 email is not opening, any way we can increase this limit?

 window.location.href = "mailto:?subject=BenchNotes&body=" + str;

Using the "mailto:" protocol doesn't guarantee that Outlook will be opened on the end user machine. A default email client will be run for processing the link with parameters.

You can automate Outlook from your UWP. A supported way to do this is via a full-trust process that you can launch from your UWP. Following that way, your UWP will be able to manipulate the Office apps. Look at Desktop Bridge samples.

AFAIK it is browser specific - it is 2083 characters for IE and 2048 for Windows Explorer.
