Hi,

If you are using your code exactly the same as you provided above, there is a space between ? and subject. Removing this space fixed the issue.

<p><strong>Email:</strong> <a href="mailto:coolvrexperience@gmail.com?subject=Hi%20There!"> coolvrexperience@gmail.com </a></p>

If there wasn't any space (could just be Treehouse forum formatting). Can you let me know what email client you are using as some of them have different requirements e.g. Exchange for Lotus Notes.

Thanks.
