Why use mailto: instead of a contact form?

mailto: links open the user’s preferred email client with their address pre-attached. They’re lighter than a form and they preserve the user’s preferred email setup.

Do they work on mobile?

Yes. Mobile devices open the default mail app. iOS uses Mail; Android uses Gmail by default.

Can I add multiple CC addresses?

Yes. Separate addresses with commas.
