Firefox mailto

The mailto protocol!

In Firefox, you can use the mailto protocol to create a link that opens the default email client on your system, allowing users to compose a new email message.

Here's the basic syntax:

mailto:[email protected]?subject=Subject&body=Body

Here's a breakdown of the components:

• mailto: The protocol prefix.
• [email protected]: The email address of the recipient.
• ?subject=Subject: Optional parameter to set the subject of the email.
• &body=Body: Optional parameter to set the body of the email.

For example:

<a href="mailto:[email protected]?subject=Hello&body=Hello+world!">Email me</a>

This link will open the default email client on your system, with the subject "Hello" and body "Hello world!".

You can also use the mailto protocol with multiple recipients by separating their email addresses with commas:

mailto:[email protected],[email protected]?subject=Hello&body=Hello+world!

Note that the mailto protocol is not supported in all email clients, and some clients may not support all the parameters (e.g., subject and body). Additionally, some email clients may not be able to handle the mailto protocol at all.

In Firefox, you can also use the mailto protocol with the mailto: prefix, like this:

<a href="mailto:[email protected]">Email me</a>

This will open the default email client on your system, without specifying a subject or body.
