1. Re: IPAD cant find mailto address
John Waller Sep 6, 2012 7:26 PM (in response to joe dora)Why use mailto: links at all?
They're outdated and rely on an email client being installed locally e.g. Outlook, which many don't have.
Many people use web based email e.g. Gmail, Yahoo, Outlook.com (formerly Hotmail). Mailto: links don't work for them.
Much better to use a spam-protected contact form on the page.

Write your own or use one of the many pre-packaged scripts out there: some free, some paid-for.
Paid for example:
