In reply to OldGuy. 2022 and I still use mailto: I actually get way more spam with a contact form (even with honeypot). Thanks for this!

In reply to TechStudent11. Hey there! CodePen blocks the action, so you'll need to use the demo in another window over here.

Should a title property be set on mailto links? I’ve never assigned one in the past but we are getting challenged on this following the introduction of accessibility legislation. We include the title property in all other links.

In reply to tzipora. Is there a specific one that isn't working? Just added a demo at the end so you can click the examples to see how they work.

In reply to Neo Spore. Hey Neo, there sure is! Telephone links are a lot like email links, but prepend the phone number with tel: instead of mailto:

<a href="tel:1-555-555-5555">Call now!</a>

Here's a deeper post on how telephone links work.

Excellent. Just used this on our site – with both subject and body section populated. Should help with conversions!

Cheers

I’m working on an open source library to handle the mailto and tel links! It’s called mailgo https://mailgo.dev. The library substitute the classic behaviour that links with a modal with more possibilities for the users, maybe it can be useful for someone!

What about the option of not specifying the email address and letting the user fill that?

You simply leave the email out,

mailto: – will open the email client
mailto:?subject=hello
mailto:?subject=hello&body=message
