echo 'please increase my quota' > increase-quota.txtCreate mailto URI:
$ mailto-uri -s 'increase quota' -r support@example.com increase-quota.txt
mailto:support@example.com?subject=increase%20quota&body=please%20increase%20my%20quota%0aThis URI can then be pasted into web pages.
Plain HTML:
<a href="mailto:support@example.com?subject=increase%20quota&body=please%20increase%20my%20quota%0a">increase quota</a>Markdown:
