Inserting an Email Link

A mailto link is a link to an email address, typically a person's name. To create a mailto link,
  1. Highlight the name or word you want as a link
  2. Click the "link" icon in the WYSIWYG editor
  3. In the Insert/Edit Link window, select “External” and type in -  mailto:youraddress@ucsc.edu (delete the “https://)
  4. Click "OK"

Note:  Leave Target to “None” or the link won’t work.

Fun Fact! If you want to have the subject line of the email be automatically filled out, use the following: mailto:xxxxx@ucsc.edu?subject=This Is My Subject Line
