Is there some way to make the mailto tag automatically add a subject line of my choice when someone clicks that link. For Example: Joe Schmoe comes to my web site and clicks the “Email me” button and an E-mail window pops up with my E-mail address and the subject line already filled out?
sorry if this can be found with a web search, I looked, but found it had to sort out.
a href=mailto:bob@bob.com?subject=Hi bob
there you go!
If you want spaces in the subject you should properly HTML-escape them just to ensure browser compatibility.
Thus:
<a href="mailto:bob@bob.com?subject=Hi%20Bob">
Also note that not all browsers/email clients support the ?subject= syntax.
you can even create a pre-typed body affixing &body=
requiring the user to click only the send button, with the whole email pre-typed…
e.g. <a href="mailto:bob@bob.com?subject=Hi%20Bob&body=type%20preset%20text%20here>click here</a>
use escape characters for slashes, spaces etc.
note that different email clients may read the same links differently…
