Mailto links use the visitor's configured mail app or browser email handler. They do not send email by themselves.
How to create a mailto link
Enter the recipient email address, optional subject, message body, CC and BCC values, then generate the encoded URL or HTML anchor.
How mailto subject and body parameters work
Mailto links start with mailto:. Extra values such as subject and body are added as encoded query parameters so spaces, ampersands and line breaks survive correctly.
