In a slide show presentation in Microsoft PowerPoint, you can create a
hyperlink to a mailto Uniform Resource Locator (URL) to send mail to a
specific recipient. The mailto URL uses the following syntax:
mailto<email_address>
where mailto is the protocol, and <email_address> is the e-mail address of
the recipient (for example, mailto:example@microsoft.com).
This mailto link can be used in a presentation running in Kiosk mode;
however, the Kiosk station must have a method, such as a keyboard, to write
the message. Nevertheless, you can format the mailto URL to address a mail
message to a specific recipient when you activate the link. This article
describes how to create a mailto hyperlink.
