Using Email Address instead of URL in Links 2
Is it possible to list email links instead of the URL? I read the previous post on this subject but wasn't clear on where to insert the code supplied. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Hi there Hope,

It is possible to list email links...

Have you tried yet? You do not have to insert any code in Links 2.0. All you have to do is type in:

mailto:username@yourdomain.com

in place of:

http://www.yourdomain.com

Chances are you probably did not type in "mailto:" before the email address.

Take a look at links.def:

URL => [2,'alpha',40,150,1,'http://', '^http|news|mailto|ftp'],

Hope this helps clear things up...

Hello Elms,
Thank you for taking the time to help me. I sincerely appreciate it. I did try the mailto: method. It brought up the mail program and when I tried to test it, I got an error message stating that the email address was rejected by my server. Maybe it's just my problem and other people will be able to access it. Thanks again Elms.

Take Care:-)
HOPE
