How do I set mailto: links to use gmail?

I need to do this server-side.


I'm running a webpage and I don't want people having to try to figure out outlook or w/e they have set as default. As I recall there was a way to make all mailto: links open a gmail window with just to, subject, and body. Does anyone know the URL to that or the code necessary?





TIA,

Neat. I didn't know that you could do this.





Anyway, I did some searching. Is this what you mean:

There's an old tool written by RabidSquirrel:

Users have to install them on their computers though.
Reply:Yes, I later realised that you needed it server-side--but I'd already answered the question by then, so I edited my answer with the last line. Report Abuse
