Removing the "mailto:" code in the published version of the site

I have successfully been able to add email hyperlinks in my "Contact Us" page; however, the "mailto:" script still appears in the published version. The link correctly opens an Outlook box with the correct box, but the aesthetics of the actual website are compromised. Please advise.

   Hi Jordan,

   Can you copy/paste the URL of the published page here so I can get a better idea of what you're describing?

   Thanks

   It appears that the mailto is being included as part of the anchor text. Assuming you created these using the WYSIWYG editor, you should just be able to highlight the 'mailto' portion of each line and delete it. The remaining part of the anchor text should still point to the 'mailto' link.

   When you go to create these from scratch in the editor, you should be able to do the following:

   • Enter the text you want to appear (for example, John Doe)
   • Highlight the text John Doe and click the Insert/Edit Link icon
   • Click the External radio button, then enter your mailto link in the Link field (e.g., ***@***)
   • Click Insert

   Let me know if this helps.

   Thanks
