When adding contact information to a post we always encourage using the contact info fields or relating a profile via the related people & profile field. But in some scenarios you may need to use the WYSIWYG editor to add inline mailto links and you can do some really neat things with them.
A basic mailto link will open a user's default mail program and starts a new message with the To field already populated.
In some cases you may want the message to have a specific Subject or Body and you can choose what these will be. Note that the e-mail does not send automatically and before sending it the user can change any of these fields.
To make a mailto link, highlight the text you want to turn into a link and click the add link icon.
There are a few additional fields you can populate if you need to but requires editing the HTML, the CC and BCC e-mail fields. You can edit the HTML by clicking the Source button.
Additional variables:
&cc= | to set the CC recipient(s) |
&bcc= | to set the BCC recipient(s) |
<a href="mailto:someone@yoursite.com?cc=someoneelse@theirsite.com, another@thatsite.com, me@mysite.com&bcc=lastperson@theirsite.com&subject=Big%20News">Email Us</a>
