Ever wanted to create a link on a website to open up an email message to send an email to a specific address(es) with a subject and even some text in the email ready to send?
Using the “mailto:” syntax is a great way to achieve this.
Send an email to a single recipient:
mailto:[email protected]
Send an email to more than one recipient:
mailto:[email protected],[email protected]
Send an email to more than one recipient, adding into the “CC” line:
mailto:[email protected][email protected]
Send an email to more than one recipient, adding into the “BC” line:
mailto:[email protected][email protected]
Send an email to more than one recipient, adding into the “CC” & “BC” line:
mailto:[email protected][email protected]&[email protected]
Send an email with a subject line:
mailto:[email protected]?subject=Subject%20Here
Send an email with a subject line and body:
mailto:[email protected]?subject=Subject%20Here&body=Body%20Here
Note:
In the syntax there can only be one “?” character. For Subject and Body where a space is required the correct syntax to add for a space is: %20
For example Subject%20Here
%20 showing the space between “Subject” and “Here”
