ActionScript 3.0 :: Open My Client Email Program - Cannot Get The Subject And Body Text?

I am using the following code to open my client email program and I want the address, subject field and body text completed.

submit_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, sendMessage);
 
var subject="My Subject"var body="This is text. This is text. This is text. This is text. This is text. This is text. "var to="me@address.net"
function sendMessage(event:MouseEvent):void {var email:URLRequest = new URLRequest("mailto:"+to+"?subject=" +subject+ "&body="+body);navigateToURL(email, "_self");}
 
The problem is no matter what I have tried I cannot get the subject and body text to show any text. The email client open and the correct address is shown. Is this a problem with trying to run it locally and not from server or is there a problem with the code?
