a mailform might be better though, since some people don’t have a default mail client installed. me, for example. either you’ll get a nagging screen asking you to set up a new Outlook profile or it will just not work.

I agree as well. I hate when Outlook opens up; I close it a figure my email wasn’t important anyway. For my email stuff from a site, I use a PHP mail form. There’s links all over this site for that. :beam:

place this script on your button

```auto

//Your code should look like this:
on(release){
getURL("mailto:yourname@yoursite.com");
}

```

When you want to check if it works, open your file in a browser window.

Good luck! 🙂
