Was sind mail to links

A popular topic!

"Mailto links" are a type of hyperlink that, when clicked, automatically opens the user's default email client or application with a pre-filled email message. The link is typically in the format:

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

Here's a breakdown of the components:

When a user clicks on a mailto link, their default email client or application will open with the pre-filled email message. The user can then modify the message as needed before sending it.

Mailto links are commonly used in web pages, emails, and other digital content to provide a convenient way for users to send emails to specific recipients or addresses.

For example, if you have a contact form on your website, you might use a mailto link to allow users to send an email to your contact address:

<a href="mailto:[email protected]?subject=Contact%20Form%20Enquiry&body=Hello%20from%20the%20contact%20form!">Send an email</a>

When a user clicks on this link, their default email client will open with a pre-filled email message addressed to [email protected] with the subject line "Contact Form Enquiry" and the body text "Hello from the contact form!".
