mailto link with HTML body

2018-12-31 03:14发布

I have a couple of mailto links in a HTML document.

<a href="mailto:etc...">

Can I insert HTML formatted body in the mailto: part of the href?

<a href="mailto:me@me.com?subject=Me&body=<b>ME</b>">Mail me</a>

Note that (2016) in iOS, it is perfectly fine to add <i> and <b> tags for simple italic, bold formatting.

As you can see in RFC 6068, this is not possible at all:

The special <hfname> "body" indicates that the associated <hfvalue> is the body of the message. The "body" field value is intended to contain the content for the first text/plain body part of the message. The "body" pseudo header field is primarily intended for the generation of short text messages for automatic processing (such as "subscribe" messages for mailing lists), not for general MIME bodies.

It's not quite what you want, but it's possible using modern javascript to create an EML file on the client and stream that to the user's file system, which should open a rich email containing HTML in their mail program, such as Outlook:

Here's a jsfiddle of an email containing images and tables: https://jsfiddle.net/seanodotcom/yd1n8Lfh/

HTML

<!-- https://jsfiddle.net/seanodotcom/yd1n8Lfh -->
<textarea id="textbox" style="width: 300px; height: 600px;">
To: User <user@domain.demo>
Subject: Subject

Content-Type: text/html

<html>
<head>
<style>
    body, html, table {
        font-family: Calibri, Arial, sans-serif;
    }
    .pastdue { color: crimson; }
    table {
        border: 1px solid silver;
        padding: 6px;
    }
    thead {
        text-align: center;
        font-size: 1.2em;
        color: navy;
        background-color: silver;
        font-weight: bold;
    }
    tbody td {
        text-align: center;
    }
</style>
</head>
<body>
<table width=100%>
    <tr>
        <td><img src="http://www.laurell.com/images/logo/laurell_logo_storefront.jpg" width="200" height="57" alt=""></td>
        <td align="right"><h1><span class="pastdue">PAST DUE</span> INVOICE</h1></td>
    </tr>
</table>
<table width=100%>
    <thead>
        <th>Invoice #</th>
        <th>Days Overdue</th>
        <th>Amount Owed</th>
    </thead>
    <tbody>
    <tr>
        <td>OU812</td>
        <td>9</td>
        <td>$4395.00</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>OU812</td>
        <td>9</td>
        <td>$4395.00</td>

    <tr>

</table>
</body>
</html>
</textarea> <br>
<button id="create">Create file</button><br><br>
<a download="message.eml" id="downloadlink" style="display: none">Download</a>

Javascript

(function () {
var textFile = null,
  makeTextFile = function (text) {
    var data = new Blob([text], {type: 'text/plain'});
    if (textFile !== null) {
      window.URL.revokeObjectURL(textFile);
    }
    textFile = window.URL.createObjectURL(data);
    return textFile;
  };

  var create = document.getElementById('create'),
    textbox = document.getElementById('textbox');
  create.addEventListener('click', function () {
    var link = document.getElementById('downloadlink');
    link.href = makeTextFile(textbox.value);
    link.style.display = 'block';
  }, false);
})();

It is worth pointing out that on Safari on the iPhone, at least, inserting basic HTML tags such as <b>, <i>, and <img> (which ideally you shouldn't use in other circumstances anymore anyway, preferring CSS) into the body parameter in the mailto: does appear to work - they are honored within the email client. I haven't done exhaustive testing to see if this is supported by other mobile or desktop browser/email client combos. It's also dubious whether this is really standards-compliant. Might be useful if you are building for that platform, though.

As other responses have noted, you should also use encodeURIComponent on the entire body before embedding it in the mailto: link.

I have worked this way:

var newLine = escape("\n");
var body = "Hello" + newLine +"World";

Output would be:

Hello
World
