I send mails to gmail users through google smtp.
We use email addresses as their Login Ids.
When I send their email addresses in mail body, the address is shown with mail to.
Example, I intend to show : test#test.com [as plain Text]
But what they get is HTML :
test#test.com
Somewhere on SO, I read that replacing '#' and '.' with their hex codes would fix the issue, but it didn't.
Any suggestions?
I hacked it by adding my CSS/html to the email address where I specified the mailto as empty and removed the link decoration.

I would like to send an email with a hyperlink.
Currently, I am sending mails via V3 Mail Send API.
However, I am having trouble sending emails with hyperlinks.
What should I put in the Request Body to send an email with a hyperlink?
Please help!
A hyperlink can cause the content to be escaped and break up the api call. I'm not sure if this is the issue you are having or if the link just doesn't appear as a hyperlink when the email is received?
For the first issue, escape the forward slashes. The second issue, I would send the email in html format if that's possible and that should keep the hyperlink in it's original format.
Please help me in this case. I use mailto function in HTML. But now I need to include the sender's email address in the email's body when the sender clicks on mailto button. It's hard for me.
Anyone please advice me solution or code to do so. Very appreciated.
Thanks,
To send an email to a specific email address via link, you can use it like this:
Send Email
To also send a body and subject parameter to define the content that will be sent, use this;
Send Email
Here is a good tutorial for beginners.
When using "mailto:" links in HTML, you can pre-define the following properties:
TO recipient
CC recipient
BCC recipient
email body
According to RFC 2368, only the subject and the body parameters are considered save, so email clients will not look for other parameters except those in the list above. This means, theoretically, you could set more header parameters like the sender's address by something like mailto:test#example.com?subject=test&from=sender#example.com, but probably no email client will process this parameter.
I'm trying to create a link which a user can click, that then redirects them to their email system allowing them to directly email a certain address. I'm not entirely sure how I would go about doing so.
If anyone could give me some tips that would be great, thanks.
hi i think this should work
Email Us
You can use a mailto link:
Send an Email
You can use Mailto Links
What is mailto link
Mailto link is a type of HTML link that activates the default mail client on
the computer for sending an e-mail.
The web browser requires a default e-mail client software installed on his
computer in order to activate the e-mail client.
If you have Microsoft Outlook, for example as your default mail client,
pressing a mailto link will open a new mail window.
Basic
Open default mail program, create new message with the TO field already filled out.
Email Us
Adding a subject
Open default mail program, create new message with the TO and SUBJECT field already filled out. Essentially we are adding the parameter subject to the href value.
Email Us
Adding CC and BCC
Open default mail program, create new message with the TO, SUBJECT, CC, and BCC field already filled out. Essentially we are adding the parameters cc and bcc to the href value.
Also note that you add multiple values to CC and BCC by comma separating them.
Email Us
Adding Body Text
Email Us
summary
You want a front end contact us page
No forms, in which the user can click a link to open up the relevant program to use
solution
Use protocols in your href attribute of an anchor tag
Example
Call us
The tel protocol will open a program relevant for making phone calls, ie skype on a desktop or the call screen on a mobile phone
Or
email us
Will open an email programme like outlook and show a window with the email address in the to field

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 }}
When using a mailto link like this:
Link Text
is it possible to set the FROM: address?
UPDATE: I forgot to mention that I have a captive audience who will ALL be using IE8 and Outlook.
It isn't, unfortunately - You can only specify the subject, cc, bcc and the body of the message. Check the full syntax : http://www.ianr.unl.edu/internet/mailto.html updated
For example,
Send
The short answer is no.
mailto will open your prefered email client. The from address will be set up in your mail client.
Given that your users will all be using Outlook, their email address will already be the from address.
The from address is always the address that is in the email client that sends the message, so no.
I think you're looking for the reply-to address, which is what appears to the recipient as the sender in 99% of email clients:
mailto:?reply-to=somebody#somewhere.com
Fancier example here:
mailto:terminator#thefuture.fake?reply-to=ahnold#thefuture.fake&subject=it%20verks!&message=get%20to%20the%20chopper!
