I need to know how to make a simple html link and when u click on it it opens outlook express so it has a easy to use E-mail function.

E.G

example@yahoo.com *click* *outlook express opens*

Thanks.

Code: Select all

<A HREF="mailto:example@yahoo.com">Send me an email</A>

if you wanted to include a subject field, it can be done like this

Code: Select all

<A HREF="mailto:example@yahoo.com?subject=example of subject ">Send me an email</A>

you can even include a little text if you wanted like this

Code: Select all

<A HREF="mailto:example@yahoo.com?subject=example of subject&body=example of text">Send me an email</A>

Also, it wont always open in Outlook, this depends if the person has it installed, and has it set as default mail client.
