Here's how it works:
* The format: `mailto:email@address.com`
* The breakdown:
* mailto: This is the protocol identifier that tells the browser to open an email composition window.
* email@address.com: This is the email address of the recipient you want to send the email to.
Example:
The following link will open your email composer with the recipient's email address already filled in:
`mailto:info@example.com`
Optional parameters:
You can add optional parameters to the mailto link to pre-fill other fields in the email composer:
* subject: `mailto:info@example.com?subject=Inquiry`
* body: `mailto:info@example.com?body=Hello%2C%20how%20are%20you%3F`
* cc: `mailto:info@example.com?cc=cc@example.com`
* bcc: `mailto:info@example.com?bcc=bcc@example.com`
Note:
* The parameters are separated by the ampersand symbol (&).
* Some email clients may not support all parameters or may not be able to handle them correctly.
* You can also add encoded spaces and special characters in the URL using the percent encoding (`%`).
In summary:
"Mailto" is a convenient way to create links that directly open your email client with pre-filled information. It simplifies the process of sending emails from web pages and other online content.
