E-mail all - Character limit issue

Is there anyway to get around the maximum character limit on "mailto:"? the requirement is to have an option send email to all the persons returned by search criteria. So, on the controller side, a开发者_如何学JAVAfter the person objects are gathered, I have iterated through them all to get a "To" string with all their emailids appended. But the issue is that, on the view side

<a href="mailTo:${toList}">Email all Returned results</a> 

won't work when the toList size exceeds certain limit(2083 for IE, apparently). So is there anyway to get around this limit? My requirement is not to send email to the results, just open up the e-mail client for users and they can decide what to have in body and whom to remove from the list etc..

First off, there's no way to "get around" that IE limit (more info here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/208427 ).

If you really need to send so much emails at once switch to a server-side solution (and it will be far better even for the privacy) OR just ask the users to use another browser.
