My database setup contains a field for Email address. The email address is highlighted (in the usual way) when one is present in the field, but when you click on it and the mail program opens, the email address does not appear in the 'To' field.
On checking the HTML you can see why...

<TD WIDTH="80%"> <Font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" Size=2><a href="mailto:">test@test.com</a>

The address is not being inserted into the "mailto:" link. Anybody know what I'm doing wrong?

You need to use the following codes in the sub html_record (and also turn off auto-generation for the codes to work)....



Edit the EmailFieldName to whatever your Email Field name is.

Are you using auto-generate?

If not, you may just have a typo in your html_record sub-routine.

The code should look similar to: <a href="mailto:$rec{'email'}">$rec{'email'}</a>

Make sure the $rec variable is in both places, and that the field name is spelled correctly. (remember - perl is case sensitive)
