HTML TUTORIAL/CREATING AN E MAIL LINK

An e mail link is simply a link which, instead of taking the user to another page, URL or section of a page, opens up a new e mail with the users default e mail client. This can be useful to enable users to contact you without displaying e mail address's on a main page directly and you also have the ability to write subject lines into the new e mail, making it easier to manage different enquiries. We use the code:
<A HREF=MAILTO:your e mail address goes here(e.g, bob@aol.com)>Click here to e mail me</A>

All you have to do is substitute "your e mail address goes here (e.g, bob@aol.com)" with the address you want the e mail to go to. The section where it says "Click here to e mail me", can be substituted with whatever you want, this is what the user would click on to activate the link.

It's also possible to creat an e mail link that has a subject line already filled in. You may want to do this to manage different enquiries perhaps. We do this much the same as the above example, but we add a bit of extra code in the middle,PLEASE NOTE: the following code is case sensetive and as I'll explain I'm displaying &NBSP; in "upper case", but it needs to be in "lower case". The code is:
<A HREF=MAILTO:your e mail address goes here(e.g, bob@aol.com)?SUBJECT=A&NBSP;basic&NBSP;enquiry>Click here to e mail me.</A>

In this example, my subject line is"A basic enquiry". Notice how each of these words are seperated by "&NBSP;", and they're in upper case, you need to make these lower case to work properly (I've done them in upper case so you could see the code, because if they were in lower case, you wouldn't see the code, as this code is to put spaces between the words). This is needed between every word to display the subject line correctly.

Try these codes out and incorporate them into your web page, you may become very popular all of a sudden!
