Hello, I know in a post two years ago that somebody was already asking about `mailto:` links: > [@Can I do this. (my name)\[mailto:myemail@email.com?subject=help\]](https://forum.youcanbook.me/t/can-i-do-this-my-name-mailto-myemail-email-com-subject-help/471/2): > > There isn’t a way to include a mailto: link within the Markdown that we use. [You can see the options with formatting here.](https://support.youcanbook.me/article/24-adding-markdown-css) The answer was that they don’t work. I just encountered this in the calendar text and footer. I understand maybe in the first version of YCBM you maybe used a fresh library or implemented markdown yourselves 🙂 but now Markdown is so ubiquitous that there are a lot of good libraries and it’s weird to have a semi-broken version of Markdown URLs (I can’t imagine Markdown would be very popular if it only supported certain types of links but not others!). Thank you. ---

Hi Jeremie - Great news, we have plans this summer to improve our Markdown to include mailto: links and opening links in a new browser tab. We will announce on the forum when those updates happen. ---

Dear Tiffany, This is so exciting!! A **very** welcome upgrade, and one that will really addresses a recurring pet peeve! BTW, congrats on [the Silver Award for SaaS company of the year](https://globalbusinesstechawards.com/2021-winners/) 😃 I think with full Markdown support you might be shoe-in for Gold 😉 ---

Hi @Jeremie Great news - mailto: links are now supported in [YouCanBook.me](http://YouCanBook.me). We also have updated the browser logic to open links in a new window by default. `[your text](https://yourlink.com)` - opens in the same browser window `[your text](https://yourlink.com/?useTarget=_blank)` - opens in a new browser window `[your text](mailto:email@example.com)` - opens your clients email program ![2021-07-01_14-57-38](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex027/uploads/ycbm/original/1X/fb9dd526c81b5728fba79efdfa35e934d3bcbf36.png) ---
