		yashg on March 7, 2012 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Ask HN: Is there any point in using mailto: links ... mailto: links are definitely useful. At least I get to see who I am emailing. A contact us form somehow turns me off. I may want to send an attachment or something more which I can send using my own mail client. We should provide both a form and the mailto link to the users and let them use whatever they prefer.

Not only that, but the user is automatically getting a copy of his mail (Sent). This is not a given with some custom form.
