Webgrammar's Quick Tips

Mailto Link with Subject

Let's say you want to put a link on your site so that people interested in aardvarks can write you. Here's how your code would look inside a sentence referring to aardvarks:

E-mail me for more information on <A HREF="mailto:your-email-address.com?Subject=Tell me more about aardvarks">aardvarks</A>, and I'll get back to you as quickly as possible.

If the browsers reading this code accept it, the sender's e-mail program will open, the sender and subject line will both be filled in, and the sender can begin writing the message.
