I would like to add the names of the recipients in a html mailto link for Yahoo Mail users. I know that they can set Yahoo Mail as a default handler or mailto: links, but I have a particular use case where solving this could be helpful.
Currently, I already have a compose link that works:
https://compose.mail.yahoo.com/?to=john#doe.com
In particular I would like to be able format ?to=john#doe.com so that Yahoo is consistent with what Gmail (and more) which can include the recipients name using this markup:
?to="John Doe"<john#doe.com>".
Unfortunately, I can't find what markup Yahoo Mail requires, or if it can be done at all through Yahoo Mail.
Thanks in advance for the help.
Yahoo does not allow you to mark up the name of the recipient through the URL like Gmail and Outlook, you can only place email addresses in the to, cc, or bcc fields.
23-12-2021: Surprisingly now it works! I am making a laravel app and what I wanted was what the author of this question was asking about. So I gave it a try and it worked.
Sample html code:
{{ $supplier->email }}

I'm working on a small project for my personal website. I've looked around Stack Overflow and Google and haven't found many answers.
My goal: I'm trying to take an image and make it a hyperlink to open a user's default email client on their smartphone or PC. Just like, the Craigslist "reply" button directs you to your personal email client with the destination and subject already pre-filled out.
Is this something I could do using strictly using HTML?
Any code or links are greatly appreciated.
I'm not sure if you have even tried anything but it's very simple:
User's email is: test#example.com.
Reply
You can also make the user's email dynamic. Here's an example using PHP:
$email = // get the user's email in the database or whatever you want
Reply
You can also set the email subject and/or body when they click that link. Here's an example with the email subject and body set:
Reply
I found an easier way to do this... just make a hyperlink with this information and it works perfectly...
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?view=cm&fs=1&to=[ENTER DESTINATION EMAIL HERE]&su=[ENTER SUBJECT HERE]&body=%0A%0A[ENTER BODY MESSAGE HERE]%0A&tf=1
I am helping someone working in operations to set up an email signature which includes a link to escalate to a higher official in case of any displeasure. While I can use a mailto: to link to the official's email id, I want to also capture the subject of the email to capture details like Service Ticket number and any other title that is in the email subject.
What I mean to say in a nutshell is - when a user clicks on the link, he would get a new Outlook compose mail window with the same subject. Using simple mailto: with manually changing subject line wont help. Looking for some tips here - am open to look at dynamic options like VB code or something but it has to be via Outlook.
Include a placeholder in the signature's link (e.q. mailto:somebody#domain.demo?subject=xyzq), when Application.ItemSend event fires, look at the MailItem.HTMLBody property and replace the placeholder (xyzq above) with the value of the MailItem.Subject property. You might need to encode spaces and special characters.
The mailto: command doesn't allows to specify any custom information for Outlook. Read more about the mailto scheme in RFC2368.
If you are new to VBA, I'd recommend starting from the Getting Started with VBA in Outlook 2010 article which explains the basics.
How can i code a HTML (using CSS) file to send an email to me(i.e. to given email-id) by the visitor of that website?
Without using a server-side language, the best you can really do is a mailto link. That will open the user's default email editor with the "To" field populated with the value of your mailto link. You can create one of those like so:
Email Me!
It is possible to provide extra information in a mailto link, to populate more fields. For example, if you want to provide a subject:
Email Me!
You can also provide a value for the body, cc and bcc but I have no idea how well those default values are supported by various email clients.
Also note that this has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with CSS, which is used for styling documents. I've therefore removed the CSS tag from your question.
You cannot. You can use a tag:
Email Me
And this will open a mail client in the client side. The client must have it configured for being able to send a email.
If you want to create a form that, when the user presses a button "send" sends you a message, you must use a dynamic language such as PHP.
I'm using C# to send email newsletters for subscribers.
There's no problem with sending the email but some email clients like outlook and hotmail receive html newsletter as an attachment and the email body contains only plaintext with html tags removed and some clients like gmail receive the email just fine.
What actually creates this behavior? If i put just few html tags in to message outlook and hotmail shows the newsletter fine but as i put in more html elements my mail arrives as attachment.
I've been trying to find out how to make my email appear ok in most popular email clients like outlook but have had no success so far. Anyone care to enlighten me how this email + html stuff actually works?
Have a look at the Mailchimp and CampaignMonitor links in this answer, which may help you.
Since you don't provide any information about how you're using C# to send this email, we can only speculate about what you're doing and what the problem might be. It sounds like you might be using MailMessage.AlternateViews to send your HTML, but only have that one view. If you're not intending to send out a multipart/alternative message then you should simply set the MailMessage.Body to your HTML content with MailMessage.IsBodyHtml = true.
That being said: I make the assumptions I do because some email clients are smarter than others, and if the content-type header doesn't make sense they'll do their best to try to figure out what the nicest way to display the content is, each potentially trying something different. If, however, my assumptions are incorrect it would greatly help to know the code you're using to generate the email, and even an example of the message headers.
I need to make a Mailto link to my website which is suppose to contain either the product name or the product page URL in the subject section. How can I do it?
Exp: When you get an email through eBay about a product you are selling or buying, you automatically know what product that email is about by seeing the product name in the subject section.
How can i do this?
Email Me!

I've run into problems with this before when I didn't url encode the value, so I would suggest (using lc's example):
<a href="mailto:foo#bar.com?subject=This+Is+My+Product">
or
<a href="mailto:foo#bar.com?subject=This%20Is%20My%20Product">
This page [Link Dead] outlines the syntax of mailto URIs:
Address message to multiple recipients
, (comma separating e-mail addresses)
Add entry in the "Subject" field
subject=Subject Field Text
Add entry in the "Copy To" or "CC" field
cc=id#internet.node
Add entry in the "Blind Copy To" or "BCC" field
bcc=id#internet.node
Add entry in the "Body" field
body=Your message here
Within the body use "%0A" for a new line,
use "%0A%0A" for a new line preceded by a blank line (paragraph),
What you are looking for is:
<a href="mailto:foo#bar.com?subject=This Is My Product">
Note, it's probably a good idea to URL encode the spaces with either a + or a %20:
<a href="mailto:foo#bar.com?subject=This+Is+My+Product">
Try This
If you want something more advanced, you're going to have to code it from scratch (or use someone else's script). Try looking into PHP, ASP.NET, Ruby on Rails, etc.
Try this code to set subject, body, cc, bcc
