Link Types
📧 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.
