The kioslave mailto is responsible for launching the mail composer of your choice when you open a &URL; in the mailto scheme (RFC6068).

Syntax

  The syntax of a mailto &URL; follows the following pattern:

  mailto:recipients?query

  where recipients form a list of restricted &SMTP; address specifications, and the query part may contain one or more of the following parameters:

  &to=recipients

    Specifies additional recipients.

  &cc=recipients

    Specifies additional recipients of carbon copies.

  &bcc=recipients

    Specifies additional recipients of blind carbon copies. These recipients will receive the message, but all other recipients will not know about that.

  &body=text

    Specifies the text of the message. This text should not be long, as there may be hard limits on how long an &URL; may be.

  &subject=text

    Specifies the subject of the message.

Example

  `mailto:info@kde.org?cc=kde@kde.org&subject=Thank%20you!&body=KDE%20rocks!%20How%20can%20I%20help%3F`

Configuration
