gmail url variables

Question

I\'ve set up my mailto links so that they open Gmail.

// you can code a url like this to push things into gmail
https://mail.google.com/mail/?view=c         


        

Answer 1

The example URLs for standard gmail, above, return a google error.

The February 2014 post to thread 2583928 recommends replacing view=cm&fs=1&tf=1 with &v=b&cs=wh.

Answer 2

why bother doing that ? the mailto link will open the default mail client you have installed
i think having gmail notifier installed is enough
and that will be better to users with no gmail.
see here Making Gmail your default mail application or this Make mailto: links open in gmail
if not i found this example from here:

https://mail.google.com/mail?view=cm&tf=0" +
(emailTo ? ("&to=" + emailTo) : "") +
(emailCC ? ("&cc=" + emailCC) : "") +
(emailSubject ? ("&su=" + emailSubject) : "") +
(emailBody ? ("&body=" + emailBody) : "");
