Mailto attachment
When sending an email with an attachment using the mailto
protocol, you can include the attachment by specifying the attachment
parameter in the URL.
The general syntax for a mailto
link with an attachment is:
mailto:[email protected]?subject=Subject&body=Body&attachment=attachment_file
Here:
[email protected]
is the email address of the recipient.Subject
is the subject line of the email.Body
is the body of the email.attachment_file
is the file you want to attach to the email.
For example:
mailto:[email protected]?subject=Test%20Email&body=Hello%20World&attachment=example.txt
This would send an email to [email protected]
with the subject "Test Email", body "Hello World", and attach the file example.txt
.
You can also specify multiple attachments by separating them with commas:
mailto:[email protected]?subject=Subject&body=Body&attachment=attachment1.txt,attachment2.pdf
Note that not all email clients support attachments via the mailto
protocol. Additionally, some email clients may have limitations on the size and type of attachments that can be sent via mailto
.
It's also worth noting that the mailto
protocol is not a standard protocol and is not supported by all devices and browsers. It's generally recommended to use a more robust method of sending emails, such as using a mail server or a third-party email service.
