URI scheme for linking email addresses
mailto is a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) scheme for email resources. More specifically, mailto URIs identify resources reachable via network mail, thus a mailto URI designates one or more mailboxs via use of email addresses. Clicking on a mailto link opens an email client in compose mode, typically with one or more pre-filled form fields. Wikipedia →
