mailto and picking a field for the subject line

I've put a hyperlink on a report to send a message to the support center
concerning service calls that are overdue for closure. How can I assign one
of the report fields as the subject of the mail message? For instance, if
the user clicks the 'Send Mail' link, the subject of the mail is "Call Number
"& "Field.svc00200.
Mail system is Exchange.
Many thanks
(BTW--I know 0 .net code, so keep that in mind, lol)Build the url string programmatically. I know you say you don't know
.Net but in RS a little knowledge goes a long way!
Where you would type the url, try
="mailto:" + Fields!email.Value + "&Subject=Call number" +
Fields!svc00200.Value

="Mailto:dispatch@.blah.com"+"&Subject=Call Number
"+Fields!svc00200.callnbr.Value

that doesn't look valid to me!
I have had this working, so it is possible. You probably haven't quite
got the expression right. Are there any characters in the returned
field that would effect the parsing, eg &
