mailto is a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) scheme for email addresses. It is used to produce hyperlinks on websites that allow users to send an email to a specific address directly from an HTML document, without having to copy it and entering it into an email client.
It was originally defined by Request for Comments (RFC) 1738 in December 1994,[1] expanded by RFC 2368 in July 1998,[2] and refined by RFC 6068 in October 2010.[3]
