MailTo In Html

In this article, we will discuss mailto in HTML

Purpose

MailTo is a hyperlink used to activate the default mail client on the computer.

Syntax

<a href="mailto:email_address">Link text</a>

Apart from the email address, we can also specify CC, BCC, Subject, and Body in the MailTo hyperlink. For that, we can use the following syntax: -

<a href="mailto:email_address?subject=subject_text&CC=email_address&BCC=email_address&body=body_text">Link text</a>

In the preceding syntax, question mark (?) is the first parameter delimiter, and ampersand (&) is the other parameter delimiter.

Example

<html>
<head>
    <title>MailTo Demo</title>
</head>
<body>
   <a href="mailto:gyansangrah@gyansangrah.com?subject=Welcome to gyansangrah&CC=info@gyansangrah.com;others@gyansangrah.com&BCC=donotreply@gyansangrah.com&body=This is the test message">Click here to open default mail client</a>
</body>
</html>

Try It

In CC and BCC, you can pass multiple email addresses using a semicolon (;) as a separator (see the preceding code).
