When using "mailto:" links in HTML, you can pre-define the following properties:

  • TO recipient
  • CC recipient
  • BCC recipient
  • email body

According to RFC 2368, only the subject and the body parameters are considered save, so email clients will not look for other parameters except those in the list above. This means, theoretically, you could set more header parameters like the sender's address by something like mailto:[email protected]?subject=test&[email protected], but probably no email client will process this parameter.

To send an email to a specific email address via link, you can use it like this:

<a href="mailto:[email protected]">Send Email</a>

To also send a body and subject parameter to define the content that will be sent, use this;

<a href="mailto:[email protected]?subject=Your+Subject&body=Your+Content">Send Email</a>

Here is a good tutorial for beginners.
