How to Create an Email Site Link
Contributed by Ray A. and Graeme plus Alfred, too


Basically, I just set up a hyperlinked button which when clicked, brings up the user's own email program with info that I pre-insert:

1. create the button
2. hyperlink it, and select "An Internet page"
3. in the field labeled "URL address", rather than adding a url, follow the "mailto" syntax below which populates the subject and body of the email, while leaving the user to add the TO email address.

Below is my mailto text ... obviously you will change yours to whatever you want.

mailto:?subject=Highly Atypical Recovery from Macular Degeneration &body=Hi, this is a most interesting site. It documents a highly unusual recovery from macular degeneration subsequent to Ayurvedic treatment. The site address is http://www.macular-degeneration-recovery.com

To see how it works, click the "Refer this site" button on this page just under my mug shot at
www.macular-degeneration-recovery.com

Although, it doesn't send a copy to you, perhaps you can add a CC value. Does anyone else know ???

mailto:?cc=me@there.com&bcc=you@thatone.com&subject=blah blah blah

To make parargraphs, Alfred says:

Include a '%0d' sequence for each carriage return; e.g.

mailto:?cc=me@there.com&bcc=you@thatone.com&subject=blah%20blah%20blah&body=make%20the%20body text
%0dlook%20more%20natural
