Recipient, subject and message body

  1. Enter the recipient address without mailto: and add a subject if needed.
  2. Add the message body above using ordinary text and line breaks. The form encodes special characters and lines in the link.
  3. Copy the link or download its QR, then test from the published site and check recipient, subject and body in the draft.

Schema to complete

mailto:hello@example.com?subject=Product%20question

Check the result

The link opens a configured email app: it does not send mail or attach files automatically. Address and text are readable in the link. If the body does not fit in the QR, the link remains available to copy.
