mailto: can do more than provide a way to
send email to you from your site. When used as an <A HREF> tag, one email can
be sent to multiple addresses. Not only that, but any combination of those addresses
can be tagged as To: (regular), Cc: (carbon copy), or Bcc:
(blind carbon copy) addresses. You can also set default text for the Subject:
line and the email body!
Mailto links can send email to multiple recipients.
Add additional email addresses after the first, separated by a comma:
Sender is the person who selects the mailto:
link
Recipient is the person who will receive the mailto: email
TO ( same as using comma in the mailto: line)
Recipient's name will appear in the To: line, along with all the other To:
addresses. Sender will see all addresses in the To: line. Recipient will see
all addresses in the To: line. Can be changed by Sender.
CC ( carbon copy)
Recipient's name will be in the Cc: line, along with all the other Cc: addressees.
Sender will see all addresses in the Cc: line. Recipient will see all addresses
in the Cc: line. Can be changed by Sender.
BCC ( blind carbon copy)
Recipient's name will appear in the Bcc: line, along with all the other Bcc:
addresses. Sender will see all addresses in the Bcc: line. Recipient will
see no addresses in the Bcc: line. Can be changed by Sender.
