Why the fuck do you need a custom email box on your website instead of just having your address there, nobody has a desktop email client set up that would work with mailto.

yes this is a plug for my new blog post

    "Totally reasonble bro"

    Your post picked my curiosity, by the way. I do wonder how many people are still using desktop email client (then the percentage of Thunderbird, Outlook, etc.)

    @Jilano yeah, fixed it thanks. Gotta get used to mx reds.

    I know one people who uses thunderbird, but shes my lawyer and it makes sense for her to have like 20 accounts grouped in the same application.

    Most companies DON'T use webmailers (Outlook / Lotus Notes mostly), Thunderbird is still widespread on desktop, and some mail addresses like "info@" are going to be spammed whether you put it on the website or not.

    Also, mail clients retain a copy what I have sent at which time, unlike some crappy contact form.

    @Jilano Tbh I favor desktop clients and use Thunderbird with my own mail server but my main account is on Tutanota and I love their interface so yeah...

    @linuxxx I feel you. I went with an email service that supports the usual protocols for that very reason. I want to be able to use whatever email client (be it native or web-based), without having to worry.
