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

Encode the uri and assign it to mailto.

Also your email and display name need to be formed as either John Wayne or jw@email.com (John Wayne).

Make sure you did encodeURI for these. Else it wont work properly in different mailclients.
