Linebreak in email body via a!safeLink

Question

Hello, 
 I am currently trying to compose a new Outlook email upon clicking a link from the Appian interface. I am unable to insert a line break in the body of the email. Any thoughts on how to resolve this issue ? 
 Thanks, 
 Sidd

 "Hello " & char(
 10
 ) & "user"

Use "%0D%0A" as a line break. Replace "char(10)" with " %0D%0A". 
 
 {
 a!richTextDisplayField(
 value: {
 a!richTextItem(
 text: "Click to send Email ",
 link: a!safeLink(
 uri: concat(
 "mailto://abc@xyz.com?subject=Test Email &cc=qwe@xyz.com &Body=",
 "Hello " & "%0D%0A" & "user"
 )
 ),
 size: "MEDIUM"
 )
 }
 )
}

Thanks Stefan! The urlwithparameters() function worked for generating the proper url to be used in the safeLink(). However, it still could not get rid of the

and
tags, so I used striphtml() to achieve that. The max char limit is 1274 as per my testing. I wish it was more! local!url: urlwithparameters( concat("mailto:",ri!emailMessage.to), {"cc","subject","body"}, {ri!emailMessage.cc,ri!emailMessage.subject,striphtml(ri!emailMessage.body)} )
