Can I create a subject when an email is opened from my blog email link?
-
When a guest clicks on my “contact me” email link … can I have an automatic “subject” so I know that the email has come from my blog link?

No. The best solution is to set up a special email for your blog. I recommend gmail, but it’s up to you. You can have that forwarded to your regular email like Outlook and filtered, but you’d have to set up those parameters.

Thanks for your quick response! Does gmail cost anything? Can you tell me what the benefits are?
thanks! -
I don’t believe that is possible.

Gmail is free and it helps organize your emails. The downside is that it’s owned by Google and they reserve the right to look at your emails. So essentially there’s no privacy. I’m not too worried about that, but it is something of which to be aware. There’s no privacy with hotmail either, and less than people think with most email carriers.
I am, that said, a BIG Gmail fan. I couldn’t operate without it.

Gmail is threaded so that if you do the email back and forth on a topic all of those emails are kept in one place and you can read the whole thing at once. It’s very, VERY handy. And you can search your email with Google so if you know you got an email from Bob and it was about his peanut butter recipe you can put “bob peanut” into the search of your gmail and get that result on top.
Disorganized people like me love gmail. People who’ve already developed systems for Outlook, etc, don’t, because it’s redundant to them.

Hi there – if you create a simple href link you can formulate it in order to pre-populate the subject field – see these instructions.
