    HTML can’t send emails itself. You’ll need a scripting language to do that.

    mailto: goes inside an <a> tag’s href attribute, like this:

    <a href="mailto:yourmail@mail.com">yourmail@mail.com</a>

    However, that will simply open the default email client on the user’s machine, if one is available and won’t actually send anything by itself.
