How do you send a mail message with an embedded doclink?

This is commonly used in workflow applications to send a notification of a change in state of a request. Here is the proper syntax:

@Mailsend("sendto"; "copyto"; "blindcopyto"; "subject"; "remark"; "bodyfield1":bodyfieldn"; [flag1]:[flagn])

Here is an example:

I want to initiate an @Mailsend to a user in the author field of a document. I want to send him some info on an approved request. Here is the syntax I would use:

@Mailsend("John Doe"; ""; ""; "Your request is approved"; "If you have any questions, please let me know"; ""; [IncludeDocLink])

John Doe=sendto
""=copyto (null value)
""=blindcopyto (null value)
Your request is approved=subject
If you have questions...=remark
""=bodyfield1
[IncludeDocLink]=[flag1]

What actually happens is the remarks field and all the bodyfields (along with the doclink) get concatenated in the rich text field of the mail message.
