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/

It seems like the mailto links we're embedding in our website fail to do anything in Chrome, though they work in Firefox.
hi this is a test
Do we need to do something special to enable mail links in Chrome?
Click on a mailto link does nothing. Nothing happens. It works in firefox and every other app on the computer.
How do I add an external program as the mail handler or make chrome use the system mail handler?
im try this in my chrome work
send email
im use windows im just configuration default app in setting windows
or type start button "default mail"
I use both gmail (through Chrome) and the Outlook desktop app, both on Windows 10.
Right now chrome is set to handle all mailto links, no matter in which program I click a mailto link.
This is not ideal, as any mailto link I click in outlook is opened in gmail. Therefore I would like to set Outlook to handle all mailto links I click in Outlook, and gmail to handle all mailto links I click in Chrome.
When I try to search for solutions, all I find is people describing how to change the mailto handler for Windows, not how to have different handlers depending on which program the click originated from.
If it is not possible using only Windows settings, solutions that involve potential third party software are also welcome.
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®ion=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.
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?
I don't know if there is a mail client that is capable to act like a web browser. one is an email client, one is a browser both with special abilities.
using thunderbird/outlook/... as a web browser simply is not meant to be. although you could access your mailserver with a browser ...
Here's the thing, I want to send some text and pictures in a email, but decide what image to use AFTER I send the e-mail (Yeah, it sounds pointless and confusing, but it isn't pointless for the use I want to give it, believe me) so this was my idea:
I send the mail in html format using an embed image like this (I'm gonna use a real image I'm trying to send):
<img src="http://rodrigophp.byethost15.com/CAS/1/Tex1.png">
After the mail is sent, I go to a web I programmed, and using some php the desired image gets copied to the "/CAS/1/" directory, and renamed to "Tex1.png".
It all worked just fine about half a year ago, when I opened the recieved mail (after I set what image I wanted, to avoid browser's cache) it all worked perfectly.
But recently I tried it again, and it works If I see the mail recieved in gmail:
Gmail shows properly
But when I open it in outlook website or from my iOS devices, images won't show (and yes, I have the "download images" setting activated in iOS):
Outlook mail and iOS mail don't show the image (Tested on iPhone 5 and iPad 4 both iOS 9.2.1
I have no idea what's going on, it's like outlook web and iOS mail app can't access the URL, but it's clearly accesible for google mail web (but not if I open my gmail account in my mobile phone. The same mail, in the same account, can be seen on browser but can't be seen from Mail app.)
What's going on here? any ideas how to make it work? It worked perfectly for all of them about half a year ago!
