A mailto link opens the reader's email client with fields pre-populated. Basic form: mailto:name@example.com. With parameters: mailto:name@example.com?subject=Hello&body=Hi%20there.

  • subject — the subject line
  • body — the message text
  • cc / bcc — extra recipients

Questions

Does the email send by itself?
No. A mailto link opens the person's email client with the fields pre-filled — they review and send it themselves.
Which parameters are supported?
subject, body, cc and bcc. Everything is URL-encoded for you so line breaks and punctuation survive.
Why doesn't it open anything on my machine?
The browser needs a default mail client registered for mailto: links. On a fresh machine that may not be set up yet.
