I’m building a newsletter with PHP (Zend) / HTML / CSS, however I’ve added a “share” button on the newsletter design, I’m wondering if it’s possible to somehow integrate it so that whenever someone clicks in this button, the forward outlook functionality would occur.
Is this possible? can someone point me out to the right direction?
You could link to
mailto:?subject=<subject>&body=<body>, but it means that the entire content of the subject and body should existing in an url-encoded fashion inside that link. This means that the e-mail will be twice the size. Also, when you embed pictures, those will not exist in the new e-mail, so you will need to link them from the web.And then, it’s still fake. You can’t really forward from inside the e-mail, it’s just a trick that may not work very well, depending on the client. Especially when the mail is opened in a webmail page. A click on the link will start the offline client, or maybe no client at all, if the user hasn’t got one.
Long story short: You can’t, you shouldn’t.
Trust your user that they know how to find the forward button, or redirect them to a site where they can enter addresses to forward too.
