i wanna obfuscate an email address to prevent spam-bots from sniffing it on my contact page.
I tried to use html_email function in href but the email address remained unchanged.
E-mail: My email
Anyone have any idea why the html_email function doesn't work.
Maybe another solution to obfuscate a email address in october?
It is working. If you look at the source file it is obfuscated. I believe bots sniff the source file. You are looking at the rendered html which displays the email correctly. Also if you use google chrome you can do ctrl-u to look at the source file. Firefox I just right click and click on view source and etc with more browsers.

I'm trying to include a mailto link to a specific email address within the body copy of my HTML email.
For some reason, this particular email address does not register with my mailing app. My HTML here is:
here
and when I click the link, it opens a blank page and doesn't do anything.

If I change the email address to be my own email address or feedack#(workplace).com or even misspelling the domain as feedback#(workplac).com, the mailing app registers this activity and I get a pop-up window. Any ideas why the particular email address, feedback#(workplace).com, doesn't work that way?
Thanks in advance for any advice or insight.
are you working on a BIF or RPL account in responsys? I normaly use the Clickthrough() function in responsys and place the link in the linktable.
HTML
Write to me
LINK TABLE
Name: mailtoMe
Url: mailto:feedback#(workplace).com
When I type email address in Ck editor, Email Link is not getting formed automatically in chrome and Mozilla Firefox. But Email link is getting generated in IE properly. I am using ck editor 4.5.1
What I tried
Typed email address and provided space after the email address. Link generated to email in internet explorer. It is not happening in chrome and Mozilla
Steps to replicate:
type any email address and give space after that. (please don't copy and paste email address.)
After providing space after email address. it get converted to link in IE, but not in chrome and Mozilla Firefox.
e.g,
test#test.com
Any ideas?
I have never had much luck trying to cover all browsers without using the "link" feature and choosing email:
Or doing manual:
simple
In checking an email that I am coding (a reply-type email that my server will send), I notice that the a tag hyperlinks in my code are not working in Outlook. They work elsewhere, but not Outlook.
I know very little about Microsoft products, but I can tell you that the place I'm seeing this is in the online outlook.com you view in a web browser.
The simplest link, such as this...
Click here
...is coming through like this in the rendered email:
[http:www.yahoo.com]Click here
AND, it is not a link. It's just text. It appears as though the program is disabling the links (possibly because it finds the email suspicious of phishing, even though I added the domain to my trusted emails)???
Anyone know what is happening or how I can work around this?
I don't see anything wrong with the code you've posted, but I do know that Outlook.com will do this to links when it doesn't recognize them as valid links to an external site. Look for hidden characters, "smart" quotes instead of plain quotes, etc. in the link.
You should put the target on the link.
Like this:

BACKGROUND:
Sitefinity CMS for my specific problem, but could be general too.
I have an email message which has an unsubscribe link in it like this:
To Unsubscribe: Click or copy paste the following link in your browser.
https://www.domain.com/unsubscribe?mailingList={|MailingList.Title|}&SubscriptionEmail={|Subscriber.Email|}
{|MailingList.Title|} and {|Subscriber.Email|} are sitefinity CMS subscriber fields. When I send out an email these two fields resolve to their respective values. Hence, the URL I get in an email is as following for example.
https://www.domain.com/unsubscribe?mailingList=mymailingList&subscriptionEmail=abc#xyz.com
The user can click on it and unsubscribe from the mailing list.
My Problem:
If the mailing list name has a space in it, the link that appears on the email is broken at the first occurance of the space(link the link shown below breaks immediately =my) and hence clicking it is like clicking a invalid URL.
https://www.domain.com/unsubscribe?mailingList=my mailing List&subscriptionEmail=abc#xyz.com
I dont understand why the space in the URL doesnt resolve to a %20.
My Trial:
I changed the order of the querystrings to see if it works(mailinglist was the last string originally, I put it in the middle)
I am fine if the URL does not get resolved into a link at all, just forcing the users to copy paste the entire URL. But, I was not able to do it as well.
I have read in microsoft forums that OUTLOOK resolves the spacing issue, when the URL is surrounded by < and > like this :
URL here:
But the URL doesnt even show up in the email just like it is not showing up here above this line.
Tested on OUTLOOK, GMAIL, YAHOOMAIL, MICROSOFT MAIL. The link is broken in all email clients.
Any suggestions on what is the best solution for this?
We've got some HTML emails that get sent out that show email addresses our service has blocked. When viewing the email in Outlook (and presumably in other clients as well) these plain-text email addresses get turned into clickable links that would compose a new message to this address when clicked.
Is there a way to prevent this from happening? Perhaps a meta tag with a flag that would prevent Outlook from converting these into clickable links?
Most email clients strip out META tags, Javascript, and other types of code not necessary for email. Outlook is going to do what it wants with your email, so what you may want to do is wrap the addresses with your own anchor tag and use a blank HREF. Then, style the link to look like the rest of your text.
I think a better answer is to formulate anything that you think a mail client might try to generate a link for in a way that breaks up the string a bit like this: https://stackoverflow.com/a/7625887/470749
