MATMSG/Mailto QR Code • CC BCC Fields?

With much searching online, I cannot find an answer.

I am basically wondering if it is possible to add a CC or BCC field to a QR Code.

Has anyone successfully done this? If so, what QR Encoder and Decoder are you using?

Yes it is possible, use this format:

mailto:<email>?cc=<email>&bcc=<email>&subject=<subject>&body=<body>

P.S. Register not important, so u can use bcc, Bcc or BCC.

Tested.

Theoretically, it is possible. The mailto syntax will let you write something like

mailto:[email protected][email protected]&subject=hello

Encoding that into a QR code looks like.

enter image description here

That said, none of the readers I tried on Android handled it correctly. They all got the To field and the Subject field - but they wouldn't pick up on the cc or bcc fields.

I would suggest that you set up an email alias which will auto CC / BCC addresses. So an email to [email protected] gets forwarded to [email protected] and CC'd [email protected] as well.
