Email Help(open source)

intraining

Hi i am a newbie in php and i need some help on it.

firstly i am using a open source Content Management System(CMS) Called joomla!. one of the extension that is am using is a email tool called sm2 email marketing.

1) this is what i need: using this tool i can email to many people. But i will need a link in the email message to instantly send a email back to the sender. For example, for example the link can be "click here to inform the sender" and when the reader or this email clicks on this link it will send a default email to inform the sender. How do i do this? which files should i change / modify / edit?

thanks in advance for helping

<a href="mailto:you@yourdomain.com?subject=Your Subject">Click here to inform the sender</a>

If that's all you want, you might just paste the code anywhere with in your message...:p

Otherwise if you mean the "send the user a receipt of reply" or something outlook used to show... I'm not sure.. Good Luck~

Edit: You're probably searching for... ASP/PHP Header to send receipt.. seems like thats possible...

But if the person who read the mail clicks NO DONT SEND RECEIPT..

or they have that Never send a Receipt enabled..

You wont get a reply.

You might want to try a sneaky way instead,

thanks for replying. =)

this might be just part of it that i wanted. Maybe i should rephrase it.

by clicking on the link, it will generate a default email message to the sender. For example, the email message that will be sent to the sender might be "someone has just informed you about something" and this will be generated and sent to the sender automically. can this be done? i heard from my lecturers that it might be done using the get method. how do i go about doing that?
