adding text automatically to an email loaded in mailto: link

Question

I currently have a mailto: link on my website so the user can email myself, however what I am trying to work out is how I can add compulsory text to the email they send me. To clarify I want a sentence to load inside the email when they click the mailto: link.

Thanks

the html code for the mailto: link is below

<div align="center"><a href="mailto:[email protected]"><img src="mailimage.png" width="75" height="75"/></a></div>

Answer 1

Add Body parameter to your mailto url:

<div align="center"><a href="mailto:[email protected]?subject=Your_Subject&body=Your_Body_Text"><img src="mailimage.png" width="75" height="75"/></a></div>

Answer 2

<div align="center"><a href="mailto:[email protected]?body=yourtext"><img src="mailimage.png" width="75" height="75"/></a></div>

Added body parameter to the href. ?body=yourtext

Answer 3

<a href="mailto:[email protected]?subject=This%20is%20the%20subject&[email protected]&body=This%20is%20the%20body">Send email</a>

As you can see in addition to the To address, we can easily specify:

1. The Subject
2. The Body
3. CC Address

The latest RFC for the same can be found here: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6068. The Wikipedia article for mailto is also detailed.

Make sure you URL encode any text you add to the body and subject.
