Forcing BCC from an HTML page + More

[Tony]

Hi all

Ok bare with me on this one please (it is a bit sketchy)

My father in law has asked me if it is possable to do this:

You have an html page, and on this page he needs the Facility to be able to choose 1 of 10 e-mail address, and for it to open the default mail client (in this case outlook 2000) Ok choosing one of the addys is strait forward enough either just a list of links or a drop down list.

once the mail client opens he would need the the "To" field, "Subject field and also a blind carbon copy address to be already filled out, (the BCC and Subject fields will always be the same)

The body of the email would have to be partly filled out already,(such as company details)

The rest of the email must be able to accept text entry.

This will be used on an intra-net (i guess that is an internal internet for the office / building)

At the moment the guys are always forgetting to fill out the BCC field (so i guess the boss is getting the hump)

And would generally like the process of it all speed-ed up a bit.

Now i know how to set the "To" and "Subject" from the email link, but i don't know about the "BCC" field or the partly written email.

I think that you can do the partly written email from with in Outlook using a template or signature or something, but i have no clue how to call it.

Or would it be done with PHP or something?

Hope it makes some sort of sense.

All the best

If you are using outlook........can't you put all the people that you want the email to go to in a 'group', then all you need to do is click on the group and the email will go to all of them rather than filling out the bcc fields all the time.........or does it specifically have to be a blind carbon copy?.......ie, the other recipients don't know who else is on the list!!

Hi Nellie2

He will only select one of the 10 email addys per mail (each addy is a different office)

and the BCC will go to another addy but different. (the boss i guess)

Thanks anyway, i have now sorted out how to do it :)

It is all in the href mailto: tag

mailto:bla-bla.de?subject=Hello World&bcc=blardy-bla.de&body=all your text here?">email link

you do that for each e-mail addy
