Email links follow the same coding scheme as hypertext links, but instead of a url following the HREF attribute, you use the keword mailto: followed by the email address. Here's the pattern: <A HREF="mailto:AENeuman@umflint.edu">Click Here To Send Me a Message</A> Notice it's the same format as a link except in a link you write "mailto:" in place of the http:// and your e-mail address in place of the page address. I don't want to get any unnecessary email, so I'm using a made up email address here. Click Here to o Send Me a Message Please notice there is NO SPACE between the colon and the e-mail address, and no space in mailto. You may have trouble following email links in the computer lab on campus, because its not set up (at least today) to use Internet Explorer sending for email. You may also get an error message following an email link at home, if you haven't set up your browser for handling email. But if your browser is set-up to handle email, you should see a mail session open, with the email address above in the To field.
