WEB.show_document with MAILTO in IE8 - Navigation Cancelled message

user1708880Nov 17 2010 — edited Jun 27 2012
When generating an email from within Oracle Forms 10g using:

WEB.show_document('mailto:'||'test@test.com'||'?subject='||'test msg'||'&body= 'test body','_SELF');

An IE8 window pops up with a message saying 'Navigation to the webpage was cancelled'.

The test email does appear separately, but if the email is generated a second time, the email will not be generated unless the window saying 'Navigation to the webpage was cancelled' was manually closed before the second email generation.

If we try the same test in our IE7 browser, the email pops up without an IE window coming up in the background (as expected).

We have tried changing the last parameter to _BLANK and also excluding it altogether, neither option works properly in IE8.

What code can I use to generate an email within IE8 & IE7 without the extra browser window appearing in the background?
