mailto

Does anyone know if when sending a html newsletter what kind of support the major email clients have for the subject= and body= parts of the mailto tag? The behavior varies by both email client and source application. Here's a likely enough example from my own system, using pjp 's link. <a href="mailto:me@somewhere.com?subject=Hello%20People">Send Mail</a> Mailto link followed within Outlook client successfully fills subject Mailto link followed in IE successfully fills subject for Outlook client Mailto link followed in Firefox fails for same Outlook client (subject text remains part of "TO"

I have a contact form on a website for customers to contact my company. Upon completing this form a correspondence is sent to the appropriate sales associate for that region. In this email it captures the information provided in the contact form the customer provided. More often than not the customer is requesting more information than what is available on our website. I would like to include a MAILTO link in the email sent to the sales associate that would allow them a one click option to send additional documents/information/webpages not open to public traffic to customers requesting the

A year or so ago I decided to stop using the mailto tag because many times it is annoying to the user. It will bring up an email program that the user may not be using at the time, which may also take time to load and may not be what the user wanted to do when he/she clicked on what looked like a link. Instead I decided to just start displaying the email address without the mailto tag. I believe that both ways probably can produce spam. My questions are these, Is the mailto tag the accepted way to setup email links, or do good people/companies avoid them? Second, if they both create spam, is

I am creating a form using only HTML and JavaScript where I want to be able to dynamically set the recipient of a POSTed form by altering the MAILTO: address or the CC address of the mailto: line. This will be determined by the value of a text box if at all possible.

I am working on a website and would like for my users to be able to give feedback as easily as possible. I know one way but I've always hated it: <a href="mailto:someone@somewhere.com">Click Here to be annoyed!</a> Is there a way in JavaScript or HTML to allow my users to email me without having to go through a lot of trouble? A CONTACT FORM: avoids spam bots that pick up 'mailtos' allows you to validate that the form user is 'human' (optional captcha) gives you total server-side control over data format allows you to change your email easily from the server, anytime hides your favorite, real

I've got a form in a web page with an action that is "mailto:email" (where email is a real email address). When I load this page in Mobile Safari in regular mode (ie, not launched from home screen with app-capable mode), this works fine - after I submit the form, the email app comes up. However, when I'm in app-capable mode and have launched from the home screen (so, no Safari chrome), and submit the form I get the error "URL can't be shown". However, a regular mailto: link (ie, not in a form) does work when in app-capable mode. Has anyone else noticed this? Any workarounds? Are forms
