    You cannot run Javascript in emails. – SLaks May 06 '14 at 14:25
  • JavaScript in emails is impossible, however you can write HTML and CSS in your email. Your 'message' part will be where your content is, thus you can add there html code and (either inline or just a style tag) CSS. It's logic. Email programs allow you to write a signature in HTML, so why cant your email be in HTML. Also most newsletters are HTML you receive over the email. – Dorvalla May 06 '14 at 14:27
  • Not possible, check http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5620324/mailto-with-html-body – Pranay Bhardwaj May 06 '14 at 14:51

it does need to be done in php liike this hope it helps 

<?php
 $to = "PUT_RECIPIENT_EMAIL_ADDRESS_HERE";
 $subject = "PUT_SUBJECT_HERE";
 $mail_body = '<html>
 <body bgcolor="#573A28" topmargin="25">
 Put HTML content here with variables from PHP if you like
  Variable display Example: ' . $subject . ' 
 </body>
  </html>';
 $headers  = "From:youremail@yoursite.comrn";
  $headers .= "Content-type: text/htmlrn";
mail($to, $subject, $mail_body, $headers);
 ?>
