Send HTML email to native email client

  Application.OpenURL("mailto:" + email + "?subject:" + subject + "&body:" + body);

should open an email client, but url encoding doesnt work for an html body. Any ideas how to open up the native email client and send it an html body?

I am not sure whether Application.OpenURL works for iOS, but if your only problem is proper URL encoding, then use WWW.EscapeURL(body) instead of body ;).

from my understanding, html doesnt translate using Application.OpenURL("mailto:"...

It would just create an email showing a plain text of the source

mh.. if the system does not accept fancy stuff in mailto: links *), then I guess you are out of luck. Nothing Unity can do here, right?

IIRC, Outlook doesn't accept anything "strange" in the subject line of mailto: links. And many mail clients throw away any body tag too. Don't know for iOS, sorry.

Not necessarily, Ive been making progress on an objective-C script that could be called from unity using the extern keyword. But its been tough since Im new to objective c so I was looking to see if anyone around here new of an easier solution.

There is no direct way to send html text. You need to use a plugin.

Cross Platform Native Plugins allows share via

E-Mail
SMS
Facebook
Twitter
Whats-App

It supports iOS and Android platforms with a unified interface.

You can send HTML text as body here. And the plugin is free to use for sharing feature.
