Make your "email me" links more useful with automatic subject line and body text

When I send out committee meeting agendas I include a link that members can click to give apologies. To make this easier for them, and easier for me, I set the link up to automatically populate the subject line and body text. Why?

• Easier for recipients: they just have to click a link then press "send" on their email.
• Easier for you: all the emails will come back with the same subject line.
• Advanced: you can insert prompts such as "dietary requirements" in the body text.

The instructions walk you through creating an example link:

To:

your email address

Subject:

RSVP for 1 May meeting

Body text:

Dear Sarah,

I will attend the meeting on 1 May.

Kind regards.

Creating this kind of link in Outlook or Word is quite easy, using the "edit hyperlink" feature and the %body= tag. See the attached PDF with screenshots for instructions.
