maito command in anchor tag is not working anymore - html

href="mailto:johndoe#xyz.com"
The above code snippet on an anchor tag should open a default mail client on any system but now it's going to an external URL "https://sso.secureserver.net/?realm=pass&app=ox&saas=0&region=am2"
You can try with any of the old web pages you've built, It goes to this URL all of a sudden.
Does anyone know why?
Its really weired

It must be a redirection set from your browser/OS. Check what is your default email client in browser.

So as most of you guys said it was configured in my mail setting's / prefrences. So google chrome was set as default mail client and it went to the godaddy URL.
I followed https://support.apple.com/en-in/HT201607 to get it fixed and everthing is working smooth now! Thanks Everyone!
How to change your default email app
Make sure that the other email app is installed. Although you might be able to use a web browser for email (webmail), a web browser isn't an email app.
Open the Mail app.
Choose Mail > Preferences, then click General.
Choose an email app from the ”Default email reader” menu.

How to open an email attachment using html

I want to open a attached .html in a mail using html.
I have a responsive html email and added there a link to open it in a browser. But instead of hosting the email on a server I have the same .html attached to the mail.
Is there a way to link it directly to the attachment?

Email html detects if on iPhone

I have an ios app with a password reset feature. When a user hits password reset, I'm sending out a password reset email from my server and within the email is a link to a web page to reset the password.
This feels kind of clunky. I would like to know if it's possible have the email html detect if I am on an iphone and if so, have the link be a url scheme to open the app. then, from within the app, the user resets the pwd.
If anyone has any thoughts, please let me know.

HTML: cannot open client e-mail app

for some reason, the following code doesn't work. I don't understand where the issue is. I just want to open a client e-mail app to send an e-mail.
Send an email to a friend
Safari visits the page "mailto:enter-friend#address-here.com?subject=Pa0Website&body=This%20e-mail%20has%20been%20sent%20to%20inform%20you%20about%20%20website:%20"
Chrome doesn't do anything
I haven't tested on other browsers so far.
Thanks
You don't get to decide how the client deals with a mailto link. Each user/browser can do what it wants with those links. For instance, I have my chrome setup to open GMail when I click mailto links. Apparently you have yours setup to not do anything. Here's a random link running down how to do something like this on your system - http://bnee.com/2008/09/make-mailto-links-open-in-gmail-in-google-chrome-browser-windows-xp-and-vista/

The mailto: syntax of a hyperlink will open the default email application on your machine. There is no way you can force it to open gmail. You can use a regular link though, without the mailto: syntax.
