I'm trying to create a clickable email address which when clicked on, opens up the visitors' email application with the email address in the "send to".
I tried using:
mailto:emailaddress#whatever.com
It works well when the link is displayed on a mobile. It opens up the Gmail application. However, when I try to click on it on the web it does nothing.
Thank you!
Your link is valid.
mailto links are signal for your browser to open a default e-mail application.
Try specifying default E-Mail application in your OS or another browser.
P.S. Email Us also works well
That is possible, if your visitor has a default mail app on their computer. Same way as they have gmail/iosmail/anymailapp on their phone.

I am trying to send a reset-password link to users email when they click forgot password in react-native app. The email is sent from Strapi using email template and includes the following code:
<p>click to reset password</p>
Reset password
The problem is that the link is not clickable in the email apps on either android nor ios. It just shows as text. However, when inspecting, the code in the email looks like:
<p>click to reset password</p>
Reset password
Is the problem the href url or is it a problem within the email providers that they don't support that kind of url?
This is a duplicate question and the solution is that "deep-links" are not widely supported in email providers. The solution is to use redirect using a normal link. For further reading see:

Im trying to set up a website where i can send an email of the webpage the client is looking at. They will click on a button and it open up their default mail client (whether it be on mac and PC) which will populate the email subject and body. Maybe a oft file but doesn't look like its compatible with mac outlook
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thank You
P.s. i needed the body to include a hyperlinked JPEG
use E-Mail Us to populate subject and body text which then opens in a users default mail client
Link to do that
to get the page you would have to use php or hard code the url as html doesn't have the option.
What i want to achieve is , when i click my contact us link a pop up should open which says "This link needs to be opened with an application". An below there should be options for opening the link using either gmail or outlook or yahoo.
When you create a hyperlink of type <a href="mailto:your#emailadres.com"?subject=mysubject>Contact me</a> then the webbrowser will open the link in the user's default email program.
You can't "force" a user to open a specific email application or webmail system and it isn't usefull either because every user has it's own default email (web)application.
We want to put a link on our site "Subscribe", when you click this link this is the href
href="mailto:subscriber#org.com&subject=i want to subscribe?body=whatever"
This works great, it's super easy too, but the problem is for anyone who does not have outlook/outlook express installed.
Without real development of any new features is it possible to make this work for gmail/yahoo/aol/etc.... email users?
The mailto URL scheme works in all browsers and only in email clients that support it.
In essence, when clicked it will launch the default email client on the computer and set the to address, subject and body.
You can't make it work in a web based email client, since they can't be set as default email clients.
The action that takes place when a user clicks on a "mailto" link is end user dependent.
There's no way with HTML to determine whether or not a client has Outlook or other client apps installed.
You can sidestep all email clients/webmail services if you instead have a form for submitting messages, with a place to put the email address the company should reply to. A simple CGI or PHP script can turn that to an email on the server side.
