Those variables must start with a large letter like ?Subject= instead of ?subject=.\rIt’s case sensitive you see… See examples:\r\rmailto:admin@website.com?Subject=Tech Support?Body=Yo wassup I need help\r\rMakes:\r\rTo: [admin@website.com](mailto:admin@website.com)\rSubject: Tech Support\rBody:\rYo wassup I need help\r\rmailto:admin@website.com?subject=Tech Support?body=Yo wassup I need help\r\rMakes:\r\rTo: [admin@website.com](mailto:admin@website.com)?subject=Tech Support?body=Yo wassup I need help\rSubject:\rBody:\r\rAlso the mailto: doesn’t require “”, so you don’t need to make:\rmailto:admin@website.com?Subject=“Tech Support”\rBecause it’ll result in:\r\rTo: [admin@website.com](mailto:admin@website.com)\rSubject: “Tech Support”
