    Default Adding full name to mailto:

    If I add an email link to a Send email text, it adds the email address to in the To: text box on the email client.

    Is there a way to have it also show the person's name + email address?

    According to a question at STACK OVERFLOW that is not officially supported but works anyway.
    Usually you should put something like
    mailto:"Real Name"<email@address.com>
    to the link to field.
    Unfortunately Xara removes the space in the name part, so you have to wrap it into javascript and put something like this
    javascript:location='mailto:"Real Name"<email@address.com>';
    But this unfortunately disables the obfuscating mechanism so that the mail address is put in your html in a robot readable format.

    Have only tested this in Firefox...

    Gary, I would try: "Real%20Name"<email@address.com>; works in Thunderbird.
