The “MailTo” …setting a proper name on the Recipient

Question

How do I set a proper name for the recipient when in HTML I want to use the \"mailto\" tag.

Something like:

mailto:\"John Wayne(jw@email.com)?subject         


        

Answer 1

Try this: mailto:%22John%20Wayne%22%3cjw@email.com%3e?subject..

Wrap the name in %22 and the email has %3c before it and %3e after it and %20 for spaces

That will output: "John Wayne"
