Questions

Does scanning the code send an email?

No. It opens a new email in the person's mail app, filled in and ready. Nothing is sent until they tap Send, and they can change the email first.

Can I fill in the subject and message?

Yes. Both are optional. They're encoded the way mail apps expect, so line breaks, accents, symbols such as & and +, and emoji come through exactly.

Can the email go to several people?

Yes. Separate addresses with commas. You can also add Cc and Bcc addresses.

Which mail app opens?

Whatever the person has set as their email app, such as Mail on iPhone or Gmail on Android.

Will the code stop working?

No. The email address is stored in the code itself, so it works as long as the address does.

Do you see what I type?

No. Your codes are made in your browser. Nothing you type is sent anywhere.
