Using the MailTo link, can I send a copy to the sender?

We have designed a very simple form that, once submitted, fills out an email to submit support tickets. Currently, emails are being sent to our "support staff", but it would be ideal if we could send a copy to the sender. We use mailto links. is it possible?

For example: Our employee Brad fills out a support request form. This launches the Brad native e-mail application filled with the required information. Using mailto, we already have a support email address as the addressee. We would like the person who sent the email to receive a copy as well. How to do it?

This cannot be done, at least not from a browser.

While it is possible to encode multiple addresses (or CC address) into a URL mailto:

, you need to know the address you want to send to it in advance.



You could write code that monitors your support mailbox and copies all incoming emails back to the sender, but that would be a terrible idea (not least because it would provide a system for spammers to bounce spam from your system and back.) their targets using a fake From address).

Almost every email client is configured to keep a copy of any message sent by default anyway. There is no need to try to reproduce this function.

Just include a request to submit information in your form. Since you are using a mail link, do not worry about spam, because the sender sends it using their own mail client. Complete the mailto link with the provided sender information as BCC.
