Make an email link that others can link to open their email client with pre-populated fields
Who is this for?
Anyone who wants to put an email address in their topic and make it easy for others to send an email to that address
How?
You need to use a mailto link like this
mailto:user@mail.com
There are a few ways to do this:
| type | code | result |
|---|---|---|
| raw | mailto:user@mail.com |
mailto:user@mail.com |
| markdown | [user@mail.com](mailto:user@mail.com) |
user@mail.com |
| html | <a href="mailto:user@mail.com">user@mail.com</a> |
user@mail.com |
| bbcode | [email=user@mail.com]user@mail.com[/email] |
user@mail.com |
Note you can also add useful information, like subject, cc and even body
e.g. to pre-populate the subject:
mailto:user@mail.com?subject=Test
but that will not work with the raw mailto link, so you will need to use a markdown, html or bbcode syntax:
[mail link](mailto:user@mail.com?subject=Test)
Which renders as: mail link
