When you click on a MailTo link, your default E-mail client will open up and will be filled with the informations provided in the mailTo link. I want exactly this behavior, but have the big problem, that my links are very very long. When the mailTo link is about 2000 characters long, Outlook will not extract all the parameters from the link. I have tried to generate a downloadable *.eml file using PHP which will open up as Outlook E-mail. Here is my example *.eml file:

To: example@domain.com
Subject: Mail Subject
cc: cc@domain.com
bcc: bcc@domain.com
Content-Type: text/plain
MIME-Version: 1.0
X-Unsent: 1

Mail content

This works fine, except the BCC field. Outlook will parse all the parameters like To, Subject and cc, but not bcc. For my application I really need the bcc field to work. Also I can not send the E-Mail from the server directly, it has to be opened up by the clients Outlook application. We use Microsoft Outlook 2010 by the way.

Is there any solution or workaround for my problem?

  • Could you maybe make a `.msg` out of your `.eml` file? Maybe Outlook parses that one correctly. Here's [link to a code sample on how to do that with Java Mail](http://www.independentsoft.com/jmsg/tutorial/convertmimetomsg.html) that I've just found. – Carsten Feb 12 '14 at 13:20
  • I don't have access to the server, so I can't run anything else than PHP. On the client I just have a Chrome Browser and Outlook 2010 (and also no access to install further software). – JaGo Feb 18 '14 at 10:08
