Clickable email link in the email signature

Unlike when you link to a site with HTTP: or HTTPS: the link to open a new email message composer should start with mailto:

Please look at this example:

mailto:email@your-business.com

See the example pop-up in the URL field, created with the editor.

Once you create a link with this text, the standard email client of your recipient will automatically open their message composer.

Formatting

Select all the text with the link, you can apply formatting like changing the text color, font, and size. Thus, making it visually attractive

Initials

You can also complement the link with initials for the headings, such as subject, cc.

mailto:email@company.com?subject=This%20is%20the%20subject&cc=email2@company.com
