I have a mailto link in HTML which when clicked, opens an email to IT Support. Is it at all possible to have a screenshot of the screen automatically copied and pasted into this email, without any action from the user?
You can't copy + paste an image directly into the mail client if using a mailto: link. If however you build a support email form, which sends the email server side from your webserver, using methods described in this question it will be possible to automatically include a screenshot of the site.

I was hoping I could get some insight as to how to perform the following on my website;
I have a PDF application that I would like users to be able to fill out and hit 'Submit' to automatically send the filled-out application to my email.
Would it be possible to have an editable pdf on a web page that they fill out on the web page? When they are done they would hit submit and it would send a copy of this filled-out pdf to my email
Would it be possible to have an html form that the user fills out and when they hit submit, it automatically creates a copy of the pdf, fills in the fields using the html form information, and sends it to my email?
I have very little knowledge when it comes to this so any sort of assistance would be helpful.
Thank you!

I don't know about this.

I know about this.
You can do this by using mpdf and PHPMailer libraries. I am using them in my projects. I will soon paste here an example.
I've got a program that generates email reports and sends to certain recipients. The email contains a table of contents with hyperlinks to bookmarks later in the email.
This works perfectly when viewing mails in the browser, e.g. on gmail.com. However, recently something seems to have changed in the Gmail mobile app, and my hyperlinks no longer work there.
When generating the email, the link is of the form:
Section 1
and the bookmark is of the form:
<a name="section_1"/>
In the browser, the link URL appears in the form:
https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#m_3653008429050877336_1
In the Gmail app, however, the link appears in the form:
x-thread://-90370221/435827759917983#m_3653008429050877336_1
Any ideas what has changed, and how to make my intra-document hyperlinks work again?

This functionality is not available in gmail app. Here is the link to google forum where you can confirm:

You can insert link in the gmail app (like http://www.google.com) in Gmail app which is automatically converted to clickable link when you send the message but if you want hyperlink (like "click here" and when you click on it you are directed to the link to the page) you will have to do it from your browser only. There is no option available in Gmail app to do that.
The alternate solution is to use Microsoft Outlook. Add your google account in Outlook app.
In the compose section long press in the area then you get option to add hyperlink.
Answer after discussion in chat
It seems that the problem is with the gmail app version. If you want to open links received in your gmail app so that you are redirected to the location of message in the same mail you need to have minimum version 8 of gmail app. Verified this as I was able to access the links in my gmail app as well as my browser.
Platforms on which veried the links:
Android 6.0.1 - Gmail Version: 8.1.7.182107449.release
Windows 10 - Chrome: Version 63.0.3239.132
Ubuntu 16.04 (xenial) - Firefox: Version 57.0.4
To get around the Gmail app not having an option to insert a link into text (hyperlink) on my mobile device I use another mobile app to compose the email first. Currently, the only app I have discovered to be compatible with this trick is Google Docs. I find it works for typing, formatting, inserting images and creating hyperlinks.
To upload from Google Docs into Gmail I am presently only aware of the ability to highlight the planned body of the email in Google Docs then pasting it into Gmail.
Using Google Docs I am aware of the ability to carry over changes to some features of the hypertext. Such as colour, boldness, italics, size, underline. There are possibly more customizable options available before inserting what you have composed into Gmail.
I am unaware of any tricks to create a usable hyperlink of images for use in the Gmail app.
Such a feature outside the “Signature” on Gmail desktop could prove most beneficial.
I had the same issue. I was adding hyperlinks as following
Click Here
I did it to handle the possibility of https not available on the website as links are dynamic in the email. When I changed it to following then it worked on gmail app as well.
Click Here
You can’t do it in the gmail mobile app. Sorry. Also, it matters what version you have.
I found a link on these forums with a fix. Essentially they said that if you put a span inside the link, it will fix the problem. I've not yet had a chance to test it however. According to the post:
This won't work:
Bar
But either of the following will:
<span>Bar</span>
<font>Bar</font>

I'm working on a email template with HTML that have a button like "print your ticket", and I would like that when the user click the button, automatically, the client open or download the attachment. Is this possible using only HTML? Are there other solution?

You can't do this with an attachment. You could however do this by directing the user to a remote link where the attachment was stored using a Print your ticket
I have created my HTML email in an index.html file and linked all the images to an FTP site.
I am not using MailChimp etc, I want to know how to send this email directly from Outlook 2010 itself?
How can I send this email out to lots of people (all using Outlook) and for them to be able to view the HTML within the email itself and not opening an attachment.
I basically want the code I have done in the body of the email within Outlook?
Cheers
Its been a while since Ive done this myself but if you create a new mail message and then choose Insert, then File and finally select your coded HTML file. In the lower right corner of the Insert dialog click on the arrow next to the insert button and select Insert as Text.
The other option would be to import the HTML file itself as stationery. Here is Microsoft's walkthrough of that process:
