A mailto link is great fallback for situations where a contact form isn’t practical. Depending on the how you are using a mailto link, it’s can be a nice experience to add a default subject and body to the email client when a user clicks the link. Luckily, this is easier to do than you think.
You can customize the mailto email template that opens in a user’s email client using the following URL parameters:
cc — Add a CCbbc — Add a blind CCsubject — The subject of the emailbody — The body of the emailThis is really useful for making those mailto links a little bit more user friendly. For example:
<a href="mailto:[email protected]?subject=Yeah buddy!&[email protected]&[email protected]&body=I was wondering...">Send an e-mail to me</a> with any questions.
