Just on the heels of Tycho 41 49's [url=http://www.bungie.net/Forums/posts.aspx?postID=32353391]Links Guide[/url] I present to you...
[u][b]PKF's Email Link Guide:[/b][/u]
[quote]OK we all know there is an Email tag [EMAIL][/EMAIL]
What 99.9% of you don't know is the Secret uses of the tag.
Tag: [ emal]Youremail@bungie.net[ /email]
Result: [email]Youremail@bungie.net[/email]
Simple no?
Here are some unknown secrets of the email tag.
Say you want to link your email and you want people to respond to you with a specific subject.
We all know people are dumb and wont always use the subject line that you request, so this
is how you MAKE them use it.
Tag: [ email]Yourname@bungie.net?subject= Your Subject Line Here[ /email]
Result: [email]Yourname@bungie.net?subject= Your Subject Line Here[/email]
Try it, it will automatically put the subject line that you specified in Subject= into the emails subject line.
Here are some more secret uses to the email tag (thank me later)
[b][u]Multiple Recipients:[/b][/u]
Tag: [ email]Youremail@bungie.net,HisEmail@Bungie.net[ /email]
Result: [email]Youremail@bungie.net,HisEmail@Bungie.net[/email]
Just add a comma between emails to make multiple recipents.
[b][u]Carbon Copy:[/b][/u]
Tag:[ email]Youremail@bungie.net?cc=Hisemail@bungie.net[ /email]
Result: [email]Youremail@bungie.net?cc=Hisemail@bungie.net[/email]
Just add ?cc=Email@email.com after the first email.
[b][u]Blind Carbon Copy:[/b][/u]
Tag:[ email]Youremail@bungie.net?cc=Hisemail@bungie.net[ /email]
Result: [email]Youremail@bungie.net?bcc=Hisemail@bungie.net[/email]
Just add ?bcc=Email@email.com after the first email.
[b][u]Carbon Copy & Blind Carbon Copy:[/b][/u]
Tag:[ email]Youremail@bungie.net?cc=Hisemail@bungie.net&bcc=Heremail@bungie.net[ /email]
Result: [email]Youremail@bungie.net?cc=Hisemail@bungie.net&bcc=Heremail@bungie.net[/email]
Just add ?cc=Email@email.com after the first email + &Bcc=Email after the CC email.
[b][u]Email With Partial Message Started:[/b][/u]
Tag: [ email]Youremail@bungie.net?body=Your Message Body Text Goes here[ /email]
Result: [email]Youremail@bungie.net?body=Your Message Body Text Goes here[/email]
Just add ?body=Message after the first email.
[b][u]Email With Partial Message Started (Multi Line):[/b][/u]
Tag: [ email]Youremail@bungie.net?body=Paragraph 1.%0A%0aParagraph 2.%0A%0AParagraph 3.[ /email]
Result: [email]Youremail@bungie.net?body=Message paragraph 1.%0A%0aParagraph 2.%0A%0AParagraph 3.[/email]
Just add ?body=Message after the first email. (Use "%0A" for a new line, use "%0A%0A" for a new line preceded by a blank line)
To attach multiple formats to an email, just use the [b]&[/b] to combine the features.
[b][u]Email + Subject + Carbon Copy + Blind Carbon Copy + Multi Line Message[/b][/u]
Tag: [ email]Youremail@bungie.net?Subject=Hello&cc=him@bungie.net&bcc=her@bungie.net&body=Paragraph 1.%0A%0aParagraph 2.%0A%0AParagraph 3.[ /email]
Result: [email]Youremail@bungie.net?Subject=Hello&cc=him@bungie.net&bcc=her@bungie.net&body=Paragraph 1.%0A%0aParagraph 2.%0A%0AParagraph 3.[/email]
[b][u]Smaller Links:[/b][/u]
As with any long link, we strive to make them smaller and easier to use.
By using [url=http://tinyurl.com/create.php]TinyUrl[/url] we can make these complex and long links small and simple.
Ex.
Tag: [ email]Youremail@bungie.net?Subject=Hello&cc=him@bungie.net&bcc=her@bungie.net&body=Paragraph 1.%0A%0aParagraph 2.%0A%0AParagraph 3.[ /email]
Result: [email]Youremail@bungie.net?Subject=Hello&cc=him@bungie.net&bcc=her@bungie.net&body=Paragraph 1.%0A%0aParagraph 2.%0A%0AParagraph 3.[/email]
Take the email string from between [emal] - [ /email]
(Youremail@bungie.net?Subject=Hello&cc=him@bungie.net&bcc=her@bungie.net&body=Paragraph 1.%0A%0aParagraph 2.%0A%0AParagraph 3.)
and add mailto: to the beginning:
[b]mailto:[/b]Youremail@bungie.net?Subject=Hello&cc=him@bungie.net&bcc=her@bungie.net&body=Paragraph 1.%0A%0aParagraph 2.%0A%0AParagraph 3.
With TinyUrl this becomes:
[b]http://tinyurl.com/d8l4u7[/b]
You can now link the "email" string from tinyurl as a Link (url) on bungie and it will act just like the [ email] tag
Ex.
[ur l=http://tinyurl.com/d8l4u7]Youremail@bungie.net[ /url]
Becomes
[url=http://tinyurl.com/d8l4u7]Youremail@bungie.net[/url]
It looks like an email tag but it contains all the features of the elongated email string because of the tinyurl compression.[/quote]

Yeah CAVX, I hate the mailto thing as well. Windows should have some way to integrate it with your email provider. Like, open up the browser with yahoo.com, or something. Anyways, this is really awesome PKF! I never knew you could put body text in there, nice.
