Mailto link with subject?

[RoadKill]

Is it possible for a mailto link to include a subject as well?

<a href="mailto:[email protected]">

You can prefill the subject line in the email by adding the subject preceded
by '?subject=' after the email address.

So the link now becomes:

<a href="mailto:[email protected]?subject=Mail from Our Site">Email
Us</a>

Brilliant!

Thank you

Brilliant!

Good lord, man.

Moreso than, say: http://www.google.com/search?q=mailto+subject

Just imagine, if you will, had you typed your Subject into Google rather than
here...

You can also expand on that by adding in a ?cc= for carbon copies and ?bcc=
for blind CCs.

I will also warn you that once the search engines index your web pages with
mailtos: on them, the email harvesters will not be too far behind. My
recommendation is to use a form and a server side script to eliminate that
threat.

A few years ago, I wrote a script for someone and had my addy in the script
in case he needed help. He posted that entire script here and that addy now
gets ~50 spams a day.

Brilliant!

Thank you

Yeah, I am aware of that aspect as well. But this is strictly an intranet
site so that shouldn't be an issue for us. Thanks for the thought though.
