Email address usable without 'mailto'

[Trugmaker]

Of course I have my email address on my site but it is not 'clickable' so customers must copy and paste. How can I make the address usable without using the 'mailto' function which as I understand is dodgy and unreliable?

I don't wanna hijack this thread, but I thought... wouldn't it be convienient if you could click/tap the address and then it is placed in memory as if copied? With a message saying it was copied?

Pablo, I know about forms, it's not what I want. On most websites one can simply click on an email address that opens the customers email programme, can this be done without using the unreliable 'mailto' function?

The unreliable "mailto" function is what is used to send / receive the email(s) by the clients/users prefered program. So without it how would it work?. So no....the most secure method is a form.

'mailto' is unreliable, because it depends on the user's system configuration. And you have no control over this.
So, you can use it just like with other websites that use 'mailto', but there is no guarantee that it will work for all users.

That's clear, thankyou.
