How to add page URL in HTML mailto: subject and body.

Even some dynamic variable values need to be added.

Thanks in advance

Can you post some code? Something you tried? Please, be more specific on your question and try to provide some examples! — Niccolò Campolungo, May 25 '13 at 08:03
What do you want exaclty? The mailto command expects an email adress. — Reporter, May 25 '13 at 08:04

You can use the mailto in the url as :-

<a href="mailto:someone@example.com?Subject=Hello%20again">

It contains the recipients address and the subject... I hope this helps... :)

You can use this

        <body>

         <p>
          This is an email link:
         <a href="mailto:someone@example.com?Subject=Hello%20again">
                    Send Mail</a>
                   </p>



        </body>
        </html>

Note: Spaces between words should be replaced by %20 to ensure that the browser will display the text properly.

It's easy to add a subject and body message. I find it works OK without %20 between each word, but it's probably safer to use it. So you can either try this:

<a href="mailto:email@mysite.com?subject=Hi there&amp;body=This is my body message">Email Us</a>

or this

<a href="mailto:email@mysite.com?subject=Hi%20there&amp;body=This%20is%20my%20body%20 message">Email Us</a>

Note that I used & rather than &, as just an & tends to be disliked in URLs. (It doesn't validate, anyhow.)
