Can I set subject/content of email using mailto:?

Question

Is it possible to set the subject/content of email when I use mailto:?

Answer 1

Using the mailto link you can set:

1. mailto: to set the recipient list itself
2. &cc= list of recipients for carbon copy
3. &bcc= list of recipients for blind carbon copy
4. &subject= to set the subject line of the email
5. &body= to set the actual message content

Using these you can essentially build a complete email message with everything predefined by your web page. This is handy for generating emails for help, product shipping questions, and other specific topics. Then when these emails come in it is easy to automate their handling. And since you can send things to different email addresses you can automate the sorting / destinations as well. Very powerful!
