Advanced mailto: Hexadecimal Seqence "new line"?

[Email]		 Subject: Advanced mailto: Hexadecimal Seqence "new line"?

Hey Will,
I tried the "Advanced Mailto: Links" (/wmptips/tips001212.shtml) and everything worked well except for one thing.
I wanted the cursor to jump to the next line in the body, but it wouldn't go.
Here's the code I wrote. E-Mail
Maybe I'm not understanding what "new line = %13%10 (the two-code pair, for body content only)" will do, or my code is wrong.
Would you help with this to through the cursor onto the next line in the body section?

Will,
I made the E-mail example active. What you want to see for the "E-mail" is: ((a href="mailto:email@DomainName.com?subject=A%20Message%20From%20the%20Contact%20Page.&body=Hey%20NameHere,&%13%10"))E-Mail((/a))

Sorry for the mistake.

Jeffrey, what happens when the email program is launched depends entirely on the email program. Most email programs will insert the To:, Cc:, Bcc:, and Subject: information okay. Some will insert the body information and some will not.

I don't know how to make the cursor go to the end of the body information. The body information isn't coming from the keyboard, which is probably why the cursor doesn't go to the end of the information -- similar to clicking "Reply" (with most email programs) where the cursor stays at the top of the body content rather than jump to the end.
