If you want to add html content to your email  url encode your html code for the message body and include it in your mailto link code  but trouble is you can t set the type of the email from this link from plaintext to html  the client using the link needs their mail client to send html emails by default  In case you want to test here is the code for a simple mailto link  with an image wrapped in a link  angular style urls added for visibility     lt a href  mailto  body  3Ca 20href 3D 22   scope url    22 3E 3Cimg 20src 3D 22   scope url    22 20width 3D 22300 22 20 2F 3E 3C 2Fa 3E  gt    The html tags are url encoded

Note that it is not possible to use HTML in the message body  according to RFC 2368      The special hname  body  indicates that the associated hvalue is the body of the message  The  body  hname should contain the content for the first text plain body part of the message  The mailto URL is primarily intended for generation of short text messages that are actually the content of automatic processing  such as  subscribe  messages for mailing lists   not general MIME bodies    Credit  https   stackoverflow com a 13415988 1835519
