  • <a href="Mailto:first@mail.com, second@mail.com, third@mail.com">
  • <Mailto:first@mail.com; second@mail.com; third@mail.com>
• CC (Carbon Copy) or BCC (Blind Carbon Copy):
  • <a href="mailto:first@mail.com?cc=second@mail.com&bcc=third@mail.com">
• Set the subject line:
  • <a href="Mailto:someone@example.com?Subject=Hello again">
• Set the body:
  • <a href="mailto:someone@example.com?Subject=Hello again&body=Body goes here">
• Combining these options: If you want multiple elements, start with a ? (question mark) after your email address, then place an & (ampersand) between each of the sections
  • Example of Combining: <a href="mailto:first@mail.com?cc=second@mail.com&subject=Hello Again&body=Body goes here">
    
    Note: Some mail clients will not support these combinations. So, you may have to choose one option after your email such as <a href="mailto:someone@example.com?Subject=Hello again.">
