email address as link?
Is it possible? How does one do it? I thought that just adding "mailto:email@address.com" would do it, and in fact, it works to validate it, but then it makes a mess of jump.cgi

Can this be done? and how?

Maybe you can try this in your templates

Code:
<%if URL like "mailto"%>
<a href="<%URL%>">
<%else%>
<a href="<%db_cgi_url%>/jump.cgi?ID=<%ID%>">
<%endif%>

<%Title%></a>

Thanks Aki. Smile

Paul, I guess it could go there. But I have been (so far) putting the mailto: as part of the email adress when submitting a link.

Thanks you guys. I'm trying to launch the damn thing today!
