We have this issue involving an email mailto link in a email post.
An email link was put into a post and works fine in the post on the website. However in the email that goes out for the post the email link gets a 404 page. For some reason the link now has the site url added to the front of the mailto link. So the post email is treating the mail link as if it were a page on the site. Is there a setting causing this issue?
Thanks
Hey there,

Is it possible for us guide us how you put that email address into your blog content so I can try replicate this in my locally.

Or you can update your site backend and FTP access so I can better have a check.

The email address was actually put in by one of our clients. But I replicated it on a test site with the same issue (works on the site but a 404 in the post email). Here is the code below:
(I changed the actual address for privacy):
<a href="mailto:tim@anyemail.com?subject=Test%20email">Tim Tester</a>

Before you replace the file, you have to make sure that your current site using latest version of Easyblog.
