How to send email from a web page.

Permalink 1 user found helpful
I have read all of the sending email discussions and have posted several scripts but none seem to work. I am not a html programmer and am very lost.

I am very new to Concrete5 and like it ok so far. However, I simply want to have a visitor be able to click on a link that will preferably open their own email client and have my email address in their To: line. The alternative would be to send it from a form but I don't know how to do that either. I couldn't find where the form asks for the 'send to' email address.

I want it to be sent to the email I have set up on my host, not the one Concrete5 has listed. I want it sent to Bob@BoMarTuck.com. This email does work.

To me email should be one of the functionality's but it doesn't appear to be so but I could have missed it! I did find one script but it doesn't seem to work either. Here it is:

<p><a href="Bob@BoMarTuck.com">Email Me!</a></p>

I put it in a Content block using HTML. It produced "Email Me!" on the page but when I click on it, it goes to a 'page not found' message.

Like I said, all I want is for someone to be able to email me to the email I created on my host which is HostMonster. My domain is BoMarTuck.com

Thanks in advance for your help and sorry if this so simple I should know how to do it.

Try this:
<a href="mailto:bob@bobo.com">bob@bobo.com</a>

Is really an html issue. Nothing to do with concrete5.

I saw that and wondered if it worked. My host has spam assassin and it appears to be working but I will try this.

thanks again.
