Using the mailto command to multiple people in webpart link.

Question

_{Friday, May 4, 2012 5:50 PM}

Hi,

I added a summary link webpart in Sharepoint 2010 to my page. I was hoping to use the "mailto" command so that when a link is clicked an email is sent. It works for one email address but I am unable to get it to work with two. I was hoping to add three with a subject line. The users do not belong to a common distribution list which would have worked so I need to add them individually. Is this possible?

Thank you.

When you say "when a link is clicked an email is sent" I'm assuming you mean that the user's email client opens (likely Outlook) and they hit send?

If this is the case, you could try separating the users with a semicolon (;) as this is the character Outlook uses to separate addresses:

<a href="mailto:[email protected];[email protected];[email protected]?Subject=Test">Email link</a>

This should appear like so: Email link
