I haven't had the time to test on thunderbird yet but the mail doesn't show the email link in windows mail on the vista home package. </p> <p>My site is directed at home users and small businesses so I need to 'idiot proof' it, if you know what I mean ;)</p> <p>Cheers,</p> <p>Phil </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/emails-received#post-2945 Thu, 11 Sep 2008 17:16:34 +0000 AMurray 2945@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>I don't know if that's actually set up in Machform, it should occur by default. </p> <p>I suspect it will only occur if you have your email client to viewing HTML format messages (in plain text your mail program may or may not show the link - as seems to be the case for you).</p> <p>On my system (Vista Ultimate, Outlook 2007) I can see the form's email and it does have a link in the body of the message a "mailto" link back to the person who submitted it. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/emails-received#post-2944 Thu, 11 Sep 2008 17:08:41 +0000 redityo 2944@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Hi .. </p> <p>You can edit "helper-functions.php" file to make this modification</p> <p>1. insert this code below line 351 :</p> <pre><code>} elseif ($data[&#39;element_type&#39;] == &#39;email&#39;) { $data[&#39;value&#39;] = &#39;&lt;a href=&quot;mailto:&#39; . $data[&#39;value&#39;] . &#39;&quot;&gt;&#39; . $data[&#39;value&#39;] . &#39;&lt;/a&gt;&#39;; $data[&#39;value&#39;] = strip_tags($data[&#39;value&#39;],&#39;&lt;a&gt;&#39;); }</code></pre> <p>2.
