Multiple mailto: email addresses

Hey all,

Is there a fool-proof method using the mailto: link to have multiple email addresses? I've used the semi-colon separator "mailto:abc@test.com;def@test.com?subject=test" which seems to work on my Outlook, but I'm wondering if anyone has encountered issues with this.

Thanks!

Robin

The proper separator is a comma.  This should work in all mail clients.

Remember that all mailto: links must have the class "mktNoTrack" or you're just gambling on them working for some leads.

Is this is the mailto only opens up a new email in some email clients rather than all? The link works fine in my gmail, but nothing happens in outlook.

Because -- I should do a blog post about this -- when Marketo tracks a link, it becomes an link.  As a result, the mailto: link will open a browser tab and may never make its way back to the appropriate mail app.  Keeping it a mailto: link ensures that the mail app has the highest probability of capturing the request for a New Message.

Hi Robin,

I found this page that seems to have all the information on how to construct these links.  It looks like the CC option may work for you.

Cheers!

John
