    <p><strong>Update:</strong> <em>Two years before this question, a similar question was asked: <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/4473959/effective-maximum-mailto-body-lengths">Effective maximum mailto: body lengths</a> as pointed out by <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/users/815724/peter-o">Peter O.</a> Luckily answers of both questions are complementary :-) Browsers evolved a lot in the last two years, therefore we can say this question is an update of the other one ;-)</em></p> <hr> <p>The specifications does not limit the <code>mailto</code> command length:</p> <ol> <li><a href="http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6068" rel="nofollow noreferrer">RFC 6068</a> specification</li> <li>HTML 4 specification (<code>mailto</code> command is an URL)<br> (please see <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/7459346/938111">this SO answer</a>, the answers of <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/417142/what-is-the-maximum-length-of-a-url">this SO question</a> and the comment of <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/10553042/what-is-the-maximum-practical-length-of-a-mailto-url">this one</a>)</li> </ol> <p>Therefore the <code>mailto</code> command length depends on internet browser implementations.</p> <p>I guess very old browsers could not handle <code>mailto</code> commands using more than 255 characters well.</p> <p>However, nowadays, memory size is no longer an issue about <code>mailto</code> command length.</p> <p><strong>What is the <code>mailto</code> max-length of the</strong> <strong><em>most common</em></strong> <strong>internet browsers?</strong></p> <p>Should be interesting to see whether browsers converge to the same <code>mailto</code> length limitation.</p>
