<a href="mailto:name@company.com?subject=TEXT HERE">Link Text</a>

Here’s how it should look like

<a href="mailto:hello@ideaspeople-22e6d6.ingress-earth.easywp.com?subject=HELLO PEOPLE">Editor</a>

Click and try. Please feel free to contact our Editor if you have any question.
When we gets your friendly email, the subject: line in all the email will read, “HELLO PEOPLE”.

Tip 1 : This works for the cc: and bcc: fields as well, so you can address e-mails to multiple recipients all in one link.

<a href="mailto:namey@company.com&amp;cc=name2@company.com&amp;bbc=name3@company.com&amp;subject=TEXT HERE">

Note : When using these multiple field tricks in your mailto links, be sure to escape the ampersands with ‘&amp;’. Doing that will allow your code to render properly inside rich e-mail clients.

Tip 2 : You can also write a body text as well by adding this code after the subject text.

&body=Body Text Here"
<a href="mailto:name@company.com?subject=TEXT HERE?&body=Congratulations! You are awesome">Link Text</a>

    Wow. something simple to understand especially people like me who is the beginner in programming.
    Please post more!!

  2. What you’re saying is completely true. I know that everybody must say the same thing, but I just think that you put it in a way that everyone can understand. I’m sure you’ll reach so many people with what you’ve got to say.

  3. Hi. I see that you don’t update your blog too often. I know that writing
    posts is time consuming and boring. But did you know that there is a tool that
    allows you to create new articles using existing content (from
    article directories or other websites from your niche)? And it does
    it very well. The new posts are unique and pass the copyscape test.
    Search in google and try: miftolo’s tools
