I am trying to use the tag "mailto" in an HTML file to prompt the user to email me. Specifically, I want to have the subject and the body of the email message already filled in when the user sends me the email.

So far, I have managed to have a hyperlink where the body is already filled in:

CODE:

<a href="mailto::username@gmail.com?body='test'">this works</a>

I have also managed to have a hyperlink where the subject line is already filled in:

CODE:

<a href="mailto:usernamegmail.com?subject='the subject'">this works too</a>

But I have yet to figure out how do combine the two:

CODE:

<a href="mailto::username@gmail.com?subject='the subject and the body'?body='test'">help</a>

Does anyone know how to do this?

Once you implement this, every spammer in the world will be able to collect your email address off your site, and you'll receive hundreds of messages per hour...

Easy xarzu. Try this:

Code: [copy]

<a href="mailto:username@gmail.com?subject=the subject&body=the body%0A%0Atest">help</a>

As g1smd points out you will end up with tons of spam mails to your email address. Opt for a form page and use a server side script to send the mail to you after a bit of error checking.
