mailto ??

I've searched Google and all docs on MultiMarkdown I can find and I don't even see the string 'mailto' anywhere. Is 'mailto' as part of a link unsupported? I got the most amazing results using [email blocked] by the way :-) Every character in the output from was a hex char! Multimarkdown had no idea what to do with that. Ended up using straight html to code it. But wanted to ask in case my searches were incomplete.

Regards,

   Guy,

   Mailto links are supported. The example you included, however, is horribly malformed. May want to check your source code. ;)

   Usually it's "mailto:[email blocked]". Get rid of the extra lower-case "L" and the incorrect "//" and you're good to go.

   Hex chars are used for obfuscation.

   Hope this helps,

   Fletcher

   Fletcher,

   Thank you for taking the time to reply. I regret that my submission was
   imprecise. I should have said that I played around quite a bit with the
   markdown formatting. What I posted was but one of several.

   Do I read "Hex chars are used for obfuscation." to mean that the hex
   char output is intentional?

   LOL That, actually, was the reason for my post! I did it correctly, it
   seems, the first time. But I was surprised by the hex output and thought
   surely I'd done something wrong as every other link in my 1700-line md
   file looks like 'normal' html output, except the three mailto: links I
   added this afternoon.

   Regards,

   Guy

   That has been a Markdown and multimarkdown feature since "back in the
   day". So yes, you probably were correct the first time.
