I would like to add the names of the recipients in a html mailto link for Yahoo Mail users. I know that they can set Yahoo Mail as a default handler or mailto: links, but I have a particular use case where solving this could be helpful.
Currently, I already have a compose link that works:
https://compose.mail.yahoo.com/[email protected]
In particular I would like to be able format [email protected] so that Yahoo is consistent with what Gmail (and more) which can include the recipients name using this markup:
?to="John Doe"<[email protected]>".
Unfortunately, I can't find what markup Yahoo Mail requires, or if it can be done at all through Yahoo Mail.
Thanks in advance for the help.
Yahoo does not allow you to mark up the name of the recipient through the URL like Gmail and Outlook, you can only place email addresses in the to, cc, or bcc fields.
