Email links

[tianteck]

How do i get email links to work. It seems that when user click on an email link it goes to the 404 page.

Here is an example of the link

<a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a>

I guess you are using MLM. What is your MLM URL?

Is this what you are looking for?

Yes it is and it looks correct. You say you get an error 404 when you click on such link, what link is it? I mean, what is the full link that cause that error?

i did not do anything different. The rest of the links works even though maxbulkmailer added some tracking stuff on the link. The email link is suppose to bring up the user's email client and add the email on the TO field. I guess this causes and error after the tracking stuff was added to the link.

 

[stanbusk]

Yes but what link is this? I would like to see it.

 

[tianteck]

i can send you the edm. where can i send it to?

 

[stanbusk]

What is 'edm'?

 

[tianteck]

Electronic Direct Mail. That's what your software does.

 

[stanbusk]

Just paste the link here and I will have a look.

<a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a>

 

[stanbusk]

I mean the link that cause the error, not the HTML code.

 

[tianteck]

That is the link. The link is to an email address. In normal situations, clicking on that link will bring up the user's email client.

Yes, but can you send me the resulting link of this in your mail client, the link that cause the error?
