Mailto
The mailto function
Mailto is not expressly an HTML tag; mailto is a separate program you
can use from within HTML tags. The mailto function creates a link that,
when clicked on, displays a separate window which allows users to write
and send an email message to the specified email address(es). You can
send mail to multiple addresses by separating all email addresses with a
comma and space. The mailto function is supported by all major browsers
(even Lynx).
The tag looks like this:
An <a href="mailto:emailaddress">email address or name</a> to click on.
and appears like this on your page:
An email address or name to click on.
