Is it possible to create a html email using the 'mailto' type of html anchor?

Factual Questions

Or to ask the question differently, is it possible to specifiy the content-type or MIME type when constructing a mailto link? And if so, how?

I have googled this but as usual it’s like trying to find a needle in a haystack.

I am also aware that the prefered method is to use the mailer functionality of the server that the page is served from.

For the sake of one email with a bit of html in it I don’t want to be trying to get the mailer working on a server running IIS and also Apache and which I have limited access to.

Also, for the purpose of what I am doing I actually think it’s neat that the mail would be sent from the mail client/address of the person using the website (as would happen with a mailto anchor).

There’s no way to create HTML email from a mailto link. You can create a text email, or you can do it server-side.
