The "mailto:" is there for good reason. After you submit the entry, elogd converts the "mailto:" into
<a href="mailto:user@domain.com">user@domain.com</a>
so the browser shows the email address as a link. If you click it, the browser automatically opens your email client with the email address already in the "To:" field. The same works in the main text body. So if I put "mailto:stefan.ritt@psi.ch", it gets converted automatially to "stefan.ritt@psi.ch", a feature many people rely on.
Now from your request it looks to me like you want email notifications, so you put
Email System CareWare = ..., $user_email
In that case the "mailto:" gets automatically stripped during the email notification, so the user_email gets entered and will be used correctly for the notification. |
