Hello,

thanks for your great lib, i'm using it to open the user favorite email client. With Apple Mail line breaks are taken into account, but with GMAIL it is not.

Do you have any idea why and/or where can i search to this feature ?

Thank you, Regards.

Hi, thanks for using the library!

I don't think email subjects generally support line breaks.

Oh yes sorry i meant « body ».

tschoffelen commented 4 years ago

Ah, I see. I think you need to use \r\n, as per this StackOverflow comment:

Thanks for the link, i tried \r\n , \n\n , <br/>, <br> but gmail don't seem to take them into account. The body string in the Gmail mobile app shows the string \r\n, \n\n, etc

@psyzz Having the same issue with GMail client.

psyzz commented 4 years ago

I did not found any solution :(

tschoffelen commented 4 years ago

It seems like this might just be a limitation of mobile Gmail unfortunately...

I don't know if there's any channel for support on Google's side?

It is quite late but for people using the older version than 1.9.2, you can solve the problem by updating the dependency to the latest version. However, the bug still happens if you set encodeBody to true.

By looking at the commit https://github.com/flexible-agency/react-native-email-link/commit/11b1fec2af3dcaf5c31cc2c54721ba1b91a873d8, it looks like encodeURIComponent is making this behaviour, so I recommend you to use openComposer without enablingencodeBody for now.

This is not an issue with this package, but a change that was made to how iOS handles mailto links:

Support for rich content, such as HTML, has been removed for mailto links from iOS 14.6+. Please see the following support document for further information on security fixes made in iOS 14.6: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212528
