Using VBScript to send an email with a clickable link

1st time posting a question so I am probably going to go overboard with info (sorry). I have tried looking for the answer and there are a lot of 'close' questions, but not what I need...here we go!

I have a web form which sends an email. The email portion is taken care of by .asp with the following VBScript inside (edited of course)...

`mail.Subject = "Phone shipped per " & Uploader.Form("Ticket") & " for " & Uploader.Form("Rep")

Mail.HTMLBody = "Team," & Uploader.Form("Rep1st") & "'s phone is being shipped out on UPS: " & Uploader.Form("Tracking") & " and should arrive by " & Uploader.Form("Arrive") & ". This is already provisioned to our Mobile Device Management server." &_ "Your cellphone number is: " & Uploader.Form("Phone") &_

"DUO Mobile Setup:" &_
"Please use the (Security Team) attachment to request an activation link pushed to your phone. Open the attachment, fill in the info and send the message. The activation link will come in as a text message. When received, tap the link. If prompted how to open: Select DUO > Always. When prompted to Name the account, tap: Next, Save, Skip, Continue & OK." &_

"Mail:" &_
"Please follow the {Outlook Setup} pdf to provision the phone with email." &_`

This outbuts the following in an email

Phone shipped per 222222 for Test Two

Team,

Test's phone is being shipped out on UPS: 123456789 and should arrive by 09-16-22. This is already provisioned to our Mobile Device Management server.

Your cellphone number is: 1112223333

DUO Mobile Setup:

  • Please use the (Security Team} attachment to request an activation link pushed to your phone. Open the attachment, fill in the info and send the message.
  • The activation link will come in as a text message. When received, tap the link. If prompted how to open: Select DUO > Always.
  • When prompted to Name the account, tap: Next, Save, Skip, Continue & OK.

Mail:

  • Please follow the {Outlook Setup} pdf to provision the phone with email.

What I would like to do is put a clickable link in the "DUO Mobile Setup" which will use the following code...

<a href="mailto:email_address_goes_here?subject=Security%20Team%20-%20repush%20Duo%20registration%20to%20new%20phone&body=Hello%20Security%20Team,%0aPlease%20repush%20Duo%20Registration%20to%20my%20new%20phone%20(Activation%20link%20only).%20Details%20below:%20%0a%0aFull%20Name:%20%0aPhone%20Number:%20%0aDevice%20Type:%20Android">Click Here</a>

With the result in the email to be...

DUO Mobile Setup:

  • Please (Click Here) to request an activation link blah, blah, blah

Thanks in advance

So, of course right after I post the question, I figure out the answer. It was the "" surrounding the href info that was messing me up, I needed to use '' instead...

Here is the line:

"<br><b>*</b> Please click (<a href='mailto:Your_Email_Here?subject=Security%20Team%20-%20repush%20Duo%20registration%20to%20new%20phone&body=Hello%20Security%20Team,%0aPlease%20repush%20Duo%20Registration%20to%20my%20new%20phone%20(Activation%20link%20only).%20Details%20below:%20%0a%0aName:%20%0aPhone%20Number:%20%0aDevice%20Type:%20Android'>Security Team</a>) to request an activation link pushed to your phone." &_

Which results the line in the email as:

DUO Mobile Setup:

  • Please click (Security Team) to request an activation link pushed to your phone.
