The mailto
keyword allows you to create a link that launches the user’s default mail client so that the user can send an email to the address specified after the mailto
keyword.
Just like any ordinary link, mailto
links are placed in the href
section of the anchor tags.
Additionally, we can add the cc, bcc, and subject fields within the tag. The first two fields are separated using the ?
sign; whereas, the fields following are separated using &
signs. See below for an example.
<a href="mailto:boss@workmail.com?cc=secretary@workmail.com&subject=Emergency"> </a>
