Mailto Configuration
Mailto is a link that is used to send a website via email directly to a specific address without having to copy the webpage link first and adding it to an email.
Before You Start
While using an internet browser, email addresses are displayed as mailto links (e.g. mailto:helpdesk@geneseo.edu). Within each browser, there is a setting that determines how to handle these types of links.
The recommended browsers are Firefox and Chrome.
Steps
Firefox instructions
Navigate to Tool - Options or enter about:preferences into the address bar.
Scroll down to the Applications section.
Search for mailto and click on the arrow over on the right.
Select your application of choice.
Chrome instructions
Sign into Gmail.
On the right side of the address bar, click on the double-diamond shape next to the bookmark star.
Select Allow; Done
If the double-diamond shape is not visible, then follow the instructions at https://support.google.com/a/users/answer/9308783?hl=en
