mailto: by mwe99 on 08-23-2005 at 05:05 PM

okay im sure lots of people are familiar with the mailto: links

however, how can you make it have a subject by default? what code do you use?

Thanks

code:
<a href="mailto:email@email.com?subject=anything">Email me</a>

the bold is what you can edit :)

mailto: is a bit crap because you have to open ur default mail client blah blah when some people either dont understand or opens outlook.
contact form would be better?

Additional note: not all mailclients/browsers support this. They all support the "?subject=xxxxx" though, but some don't support anything else. So it is strongly advised to not use anything other then the "?subject=xxxxx.

If you must, then do as hmaster said, make a form instead.
