MailTo (read as "mail to") attribute is used for creating mailing links, i.e., after clicking this link the default e-mail sender/receiver of the operating system will open automatically with the recipent's e-mail address in the "Send to" box, ready for sending an e-mail to whom the creator of the webpage chooses.
General syntax/format of the HTML link with mailto attribute is
<a href="mailto:[e-mail address]">[Link Text]</a>
Replace [e-mail address] with the recipent's e-mail address, the person you the creator of the document wants to send an e-mail to when some person clicks on the link. [Link Text] can be replaced by the text link to appear, like "click here to mail me", etc.
For example:
Input:

Here the subject is "Hello Sir" and "%20" is used for a blank space.
