Linking mail?

[eluser]Tanax[/eluser]
Hi!

I have a basic contact mail, and I'm linking it through a href html code like so:

Code:

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

but that gets replaced like so:

Code:

index.php/site/[email protected]

I mean.. the link leads to that instead of a basic mail link.
How would I make it link to [email protected] instead of index.php/site/[email protected] ??

Code:

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

?

Oh.. right. I'm stupid.

Cheers for help

You can also use the mailto helper function if you want

Code:

echo mailto('[email protected]', 'Click Here to Contact Me');

There's also a safe_mailto function which protects the email address from spam bots

Didn't know that. Could be useful. Thanks!
