I made a neat mailto bookmarklet that uses the page title as the Subject, and puts the URL and any selected text into the Body. It was tricky because Javascript wanted to interpert the %0D%0A (crlf) too early, so I had to escape the %’s as %25, i.e. %0D%0A -> %250D%250A -> %22%250D%250A%22 (when surrounded by double quotes).

    I’ve been searching for a long time why just %0a wouldn’t work.
    Thanks for the tip!

    Thanks. That is a great tip. I started writing one of my own after I saw the “Gmail This” boorkmarklet http://email.about.com/library/misc/blgmail_this_bookmarklet.htm.

    I had to take out the email address prompt to save time.

    Thanks a lot.

    Just found this via http://lifehacker.com/software/bookmarklets/ask-the-readers–musthave-bookmarklets-240964.php
    I had something like this that stopped working so to discover this now is wicked. Do you know of any way to add bookmarklets to a right click menu in firefox?…have tried all custom links, https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1920/, but does not work
