More importantly however let me tell you about mailto links so you will know how to write them yourself.

We created this simple link generator to help principiantes programmers to generate HTML links in a simple way using text or images.

What is a mailto link?

Mailto link is a hyperlink that allows user to send an email to a specific address directly from an HTML document, without having to copy and enter it into an email client like Gmail or Outlook.

First we will look at the “link part” of the mailto link and then put it inside HTML tags.

Start with mailto:

Every mailto link starts with:

Accurately Measure Your Marketing Campaigns. Google Analytics has provided a useful mechanism for the accurate tracking of marketing campaigns. The only problem is it isn't the easiest to use and is VERY easy to make mistakes. Yes we used linkmaker. We were with a VA so they don't have their own children to place and we went straight to linkmaker. I found it incredibly overwhelming but we were very open minded in terms of our age range, gender and the needs we thought we could meet so we were matched very quickly with our son.

Single recipient

Then comes the email address without any additional characters, just the email address as is.

Multiple recipients

It is not advisable to have multiple recipients in the “To”, “Cc” or “Bcc” fields of the mailto link. You can do it, but it may not work.

If you have already decided to create a mailto link with multiple recipients and cannot be discouraged, this is how to go about it:

  1. Add multiple email addresses.
  2. Separate them with commas (,).
  3. Remove spaces between commas and email addresses.
  4. Test the link with multiple email clients.

    If commas do not work...

  5. Separate email addresses with semicolons (;).
  6. Remove spaces between semi-colons and email addresses.
  7. Test the link with multiple email clients.

Mailto link with multiple recipients and commas should look like this:

Or with semicolons:

The only way that will surely work is with up to 3 email addresses where you include one in the “To” field, one in the “Cc” field and one in “Bcc” field.

No recipient

It is similarly not advisable to leave the “To” field of the mailto link empty. You can do it, but it may not work.

If you have already decided to create a mailto link without recipients, these are potential ways of doing it. Examples below contain “Hello” in the “Body” field of the mailto link.

Vanilla version:

Space version:

Space as Unicode version:

Separate “To” parameter:

Remember to test these links with multiple email clients before publishing them.

Characters that divide parameters

In the last example you may have noticed two characters dividing the mailto link parameters: question mark (?) and ampersand (&).

Question mark appears only before the first parameter, while ampersand appears before all others. Here are a few examples with underscores (___) representing the content.

Mailto link with subject

Here is an example of a mailto link with the subject line: “How are you doing?”

Spaces and other special characters

As you can see the example includes some unusual characters. This is because the Mailto link generator encoded all special characters in order to format the link properly.

Here is a short list of characters we are used to translated to UTF-8 encoded characters:

This is the biggest reason why tools like Mailto link generator come in handy. No one namely wants to memorize that %20 stands for space.

It is also the reason I suggest you ⭐ bookmark this site so you may find it faster the next time you need to create a mailto link.

Mailto link with subject and body

Here is an example of a mailto link with the subject line: “Dear Lars” and body: “Hope you are doing well. I will see you Tuesday. Love, Sigrit”.

Mailto link with subject, body, bcc and cc

Here is an example of a mailto link with everything:

  • To: committee@eurovision.com
  • Cc: culture@iceland.gov
  • Bcc: sigrit@firesaga.com
  • Subject: Entry submission
  • Body: Greetings Eurovision committee, I am sending you this years submission from Fire Saga of Iceland. Best regards, Lars Erickssong

(If you haven’t guessed yet, Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga (2020) is my favorite movie ❤️)

HTML tags

Once you have generated the “link part” of the mailto link, all that remains is inserting it into the link HTML tags that look like this:

The opening tag <a> comes at the beginning, while the closing tag </a> comes at the end. Between them comes link text, which is the only part that will be displayed at the end.

All that remains is pointing the link to its destination, which is done through the href attribute:

It is in this attribute or rather between the quotation marks that you insert the generated mailto link:

Once this is inserted into an HTML document or whatever medium displays hyperlinks, it produces the following mailto link:
