Sending Data to an Email Recipient
You can use the MAILTO command to add a link to an email recipient within a record. The link automatically opens the configured email client when clicked. You can use a simple or complex version of the MAILTO command to complete as many email fields as needed. Use a question mark to separate the email address from the subject field, and an ampersand (&) between other email fields:
*Simple format: MAILTO: emailaddress\Description
*Complex format: MAILTO: emailaddress?subject= subject&body= msgbody&cc= emailaddress&bcc=emailaddress\Description
Note:
Replace spaces in the email command fields with the dollar symbol ($). Separate multiple email addresses with a comma. The record is not attached in the email.
The following table describes each field in the MAILTO tag. Use a comma to separate multiple email addresses in an email address field.
