emailuri

Emailuri is a term used in software documentation to denote a Uniform Resource Identifier that targets email resources, such as an address or a specific message, within a system. It is not a formal standard with its own RFC, and there is no universal specification for an “emailuri” scheme. In practice, developers typically rely on the standard mailto URIs to reference email addresses or to initiate composing messages in a client. The label emailuri is therefore most often encountered as a generic descriptor or as a label for a project’s own, nonstandard URI scheme used to represent email objects.

If a project defines an emailuri-like scheme, its exact syntax should be documented in that project. In the absence of a formal standard, common patterns are determined by implementation. Hypothetical forms might include emailuri:[email protected] or emailuri:message-id/XYZ, and parameters may be conveyed using query components such as ?subject=Hello&body=World. Some systems may also reuse existing URL components or rely on application-specific paths to reference particular messages or folders.

Uses and implications include linking from web or app interfaces to an email resource within a client, enabling deep linking to specific messages, or indexing email-related objects in a system. Because emailuri is not a widely standardized concept, interoperability depends on explicit documentation and agreement between components. When present, it is important to distinguish such schemes from the standardized mailto scheme to avoid confusion.
