📧 Email Links — Seedha Mail Kholo

href="mailto:biryani@paradise.com"

Email link pe click karo aur tumhara default email app (Gmail, Outlook, Apple Mail) khul jayega with recipient already filled in. Jaise pre-stamped envelope — bas likho aur bhejo.

mailto: protocol browser ko kehta hai "yeh webpage nahi, email client kholo." Subject aur body bhi pre-fill kar sakte ho ? parameters se.

🛺
Hyderabad Analogy: Jaise TSRTC bus stop pe complaint register — tum bas complaint likho, address pehle se form pe printed hai.

✅ When to Use

  • Website pe Contact us sections
  • Feedback forms — backend form ka simple alternative
  • Footer mein business email links

❌ When NOT to Use

  • Jab attachments chahiye (mailto yeh nahi kar sakta)
  • Jab emails track karne hain (form use karo)
  • Public pages jahan bots email scrape kar sakte hain
💡
Email scraping bots tumhara mailto: email grab kar lenge. Protect karne ke liye contact form use karo ya obfuscate karo: "biryani [at] paradise [dot] com" likho aur JavaScript se click pe reconstruct karo.
