This is from VelvetGlove's fantastic Comping Guide:

"The Institute of Sales Promotions [EMAIL="complaints@isp.org.uk"]complaints@isp.org.uk[/EMAIL] lay down the guidelines which comp organisors must follow. MSE Compers have reported that they are very good at investigating dodgy comps & missing prizes with one chap in particular [EMAIL="edwinm@isp.org.uk"]Edwin Mutton[/EMAIL], being an absolute star. "

Thanks a lot WO

Hey thanks for your PM One-Eye. I tried something using your discovery about it having to end in .com which seems to work. The comper would just need to delete the .com at the end of the post...not too onerous considering all the typing saved! I'm using %0A for carriage return. Also I had to switch editor mode to enter this...


[URL="mailto:address@somewhere.com?subject=Prize%20Draw&body=Answer%20=%20Yikes%0A%0AFrom:%20A%20Person%0A10%20Wotsit%20Avenue%0APhone:%200800000000.com"]Linky[/URL]

Here's the format I used for the above link...

mailto:address@somewhere.com?subject=Prize%20Draw&body=Answer%20=%20Yikes%0A%0AFrom:%20A%20Person%0A10%20Wotsit%20Avenue%0APhone:%200800000000.com

Do you think others will be prepared to adopt this? I wonder how we might suggest it? Any ideas?

Cheers

I'll find a recent email comp on the board and try putting one of these email links in.

Moved to the comps disucssion thread:)

I opened your link and it seems a bit more long winded from what i usually do when having email entry comps.Open tit using the link copy and paste the subject if there is one copy and paste the answer then copy and paste the details all of which i have saved on notepad anyway.When i opened yours it had details which i'd have to delete or is that just you testing?
