Summary:
How to embed spaces in the mailto: Subject line in TIBCO Spotfire Text Area web links

Details:
When adding a web link in a Text Area in TIBCO Spotfire, the dialog does not seem to allow spaces in the subject portion of the URL of mailto links, which would make it easier to read. See How to Use the Text Area for more context.

 

Resolution:
To put spaces in your mailto: string you will need to encode them properly with '%20'.  The format would be for example:

mailto:name@xyz.com?subject=Can%20you%20help%20me?
