Email link question

What I'm trying to do is create an email link that when the
customer clicks it, will open up their email client with the To
line and Subject line filled in. That part I understand. Is there
any way to replace the email address in the To line with custom
text, while still sending it to that address?
For example, instead of showing "[email protected]" in the To
line, it will show "Name".
Any help is greatly appreciated,
Randy

Not if you are using the unreliable 'mailto:' method.

You need to contact Apple, either through the link in that article or by phoning them and asking for the Account Security team.

When I click on an email link it opens in the email window instead of opening a new window, how to get it to open a new window instead

It's Comcast email, most links are to articles from the Wall Street Journal. Lately an email from Charles Schwab broker with a link to a pdf file has been doing the same. When I click on the link, it opens within the email frame, which is about 1/3 filled up with the toolbar, mailboxes, headings etc. If it opens with 2 bars on the right side to move down, I can see the whole article, but often it opens with only one bar on the right side which will not let me get all the way to the end of the page.
It's been happening for several weeks. I got a new computer and it's still happening. Comcast sounds like they've never heard of it. Most recently happened today. I tried the same email link with IE and it opened a new window.

Firefox sent an email to me to confirm that I had asked the above question. The email had a link to click. When I clicked it from Firefox, nothing happened. Then I opened IE, signed into Comcast, opened the email, clicked the link, and it brought me here.

How can I get to Yahoo Mail from email links on Craigslist?

I have looked through the discussions, but I am not finding anything specific to my problem. I am not using Apple Mail at all. I am using a Yahoo email account only. When I am visiting a web site and I click on a link to email someone from that site, Mail always automatically opens. I have to copy the email address, launch Safari, access my Yahoo Mail, compose a new email, and paste in that address in order to send the email from Yahoo. It's a pain.
My question is this: How can I configure my Mac to NOT automatically open Mail but rather to automatically open Yahoo as the client from which to send an email?
The best example of when I'd need to do is when surfing Craigslist. When I see an ad I want to reply to, I click the seller's Craigslist-generated email link. I want THAT link to take me to Yahoo, not Apple Mail.
Any ideas or work-arounds that will enable that to happen?

There may be an solution but I don't think it will be simple and I don't know what it is.
One problem is when you say, "open Yahoo as the client." Yahoo isn't a client or application as such, it is just a web page. When you click on a "mailto" link it tells the browser to open your mail application, and Yahoo isn't an application.
The web page in [this link|http://www.tuaw.com/2006/11/07/tuaw-tip-change-your-default-browser-or-def ault-mail-client-wit> discusses some of the issues you are having. People were complaining that the only way to change your mail preferences was to actually set up an account using OSX's Mail application which was the one you didn't want to use anyway. However, the best you could maybe do using the utilities mentioned on the page is to tell your computer to set Safari as your mail application; I don't know how to get it to then go to the Yahoo website as part of the package. Maybe some kind of advanced scripting?
Edit: It looks like Yahoo also has a way of connecting directly to it using a mail application if you pay for the premium service.

My usual iCloud account has been locked out. I tried the email link - didn't receive an email. So I created a new Apple ID with another email but now I can't access my other Apple ID Mail, etc..

My usual Apple ID/iCloud account has been locked out. I tried the email link - didn't receive an email. So I created a new Apple ID with another email but now I can't access my other Apple ID Mail, etc.. How do I get the Apple ID I want to use working again? Help.

Hi JkeeneSoldano,
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
To regain access to your Apple ID, try to reset your password using one of these methods:
Answer your security questions. Use these steps if you know the answers to your security questions.
Use email authentication. We'll send you an email that you can use to change your password.
Use two-step verification. If you set up two-step verification, you can use it to change your password. You just need your recovery key and a trusted device.
From:
If you forgot your Apple ID password - Apple Support
If you need to use the email verification method but don't receive the reset email, see this link for more help:
If you didn't receive your verification or reset email - Apple Support

Thunderbird email links will no longer open on the Firefox browser. (I have to use another browser to open email links.)

Since a recent update (either for Firefox or Thunderbird, don't remember which), links in my Thunderbird emails will not open in Firefox. I can't even open the Thunderbird "help" link. In desperation, I installed Opera, and the email links work perfectly well. There seems to be some sort of disconnect between Thunderbird and Firefox.

I fixed this myself. You have to ensure that Firefox is the default browser. In the Firefox menu (maybe under Edit if you are running Linux) go to Preferences. Click "Advanced" then in the "General" tab click the button toward the bottom that says "Check now" and Firefox will automatically check if it is the default browser and, if it is not, ask you if you want to make it default. Answer "yes" to this question.

Firefox wont open email links

Question
Whats the deal with version after version of new firefox and you guys have still not fixed the problem with clicking on email links and nothing happens.

Adware is not a virus. It's simply annoying and intrusive. Virus software is not going to help you stop this new plague on computer users.
Whenever you download an installer it could be wrapped with adware. Check carefully when installing. You have to uncheck to not install the extensions that are added.

Email link with no additional text insertion

Hello All.
Thanks for your participation here.
Kinda newbie here so forgive me if my terminalogy is off.
Two part question:
1) I'm creating popup windows. I get that there's a
difference between inserting a hyperlink to open a popup window as
opposed to adding a behavior to do the same thing. Adding a
behavior doen't screw up my layout the way inserting a hyperlnk
does so I much prefer that. (Why does any action screw up my
layout?)
2) Similarly, when inserting an email link DW insists an
adding text into my page and forces everything to move around.
(Things moving around without my consent is not acceptable to me.)
Is there a "behavior" that will trigger a viewer's email program to
send me an email to my designated address instead of the messy
email link? Or can I turn off the text insert that happens when I
enter my email address in the insert email link mode?
Thanks All.

There is no real difference between those two things.
One would be to add a hyperlink to the triiger pointing to a
new page with a
target of "_blank". The other would be to add a null link to
the trigger
which calls a javascript function that opens the new window.
They are
fundamentally the same - both require adding a hyperlink.
Neither should 'screw up [your] layout'. We'd have to see the
page and its
code, though, to know what you are doing wrong.

Give us an example, please.
> (Things moving around without my consent is not
acceptable to me.)
Get used to it until you have learned some HTML and CSS. It
will be a way
of life as long as you use DW exclusively in Design view.

No. But that "messy email link" is not the optimal way to do
it, either.
The best way is to link to a feedback form, which they fill
out, and which
is then sent to you by a form processing script.

Email links

Email links open in minmize size/ only links from emails do this . Any links I clk on from an email open in min size at the top of the screen, just started tonite ,Don't know if I accidently hit a key or it just fliped out on me. all other browsing off the email page works as always . this only happens with email links .I didn't find any setting for this . ??anyone ??

Hello RimfireRat,
The size of the window that opens is based on the browser type used and settings. There is not enough information to assist further. You would need to see the set up features of the browser in question to change the default hyperlink size window to Maximize or reset your browser to defaults.
Thank you,

Insert an email link

Hi,
how may I insert an email link in an adobe rome document ? the "mailto:..." command doesn't work...
thanks.

No, there's no special feature for mailing options.
A few questions :
- When you say it doesn't work, you mean that, when you click on the link, your default email client doesn't automatically start ? It should.
- Do you write "mailto: ..." with quoting marks ? Quoting marks are useless.
- The problem obviously appears when linking a part of the text (the Link option is available only with parts of text). Have you ever tried with a whole text area ? Through Event menu.
- Which Rome do you use ? Online or local version ?
- The problem appears in the preview, the output file or both ?
Try to upload your site and then check your mailing button. Someone already posted about some URL rewriting by Rome within preview and local files, and the problem has been resolved with site online publishing.
Good luck

Email link in a Jpeg Photo

So I called tech support and asked them this question
The first question was how do i add text to a image i have already placed on my page.
Answer: Export the image to a pic editor. LIke photoshop.
Ok fair enough
Then my next question was:
How do i get e link or email link on the text in the photo?
Once i have my image and text the way i want it, its saved as a image and i cant edit the text.
So my question is really two questions i guess.
How do i get text on a image in dreamweaver. If a editor is needed, then how do i set a link up to another page?
Thanks

Use the smallest image size necessary for the task. Small image slices or tiles make good backgrounds on web pages. You can set background images in your site's CSS to tile or repeat vertically, horizontally, both or none. So a little image can go a long way. It can fill an entire screen, table or a CSS division.
A common mistake among new web designers is trying to "fit" content precisely over a large, background image or photograph. This seldom works as planned because building for the web is nothing like designing for print. Owing to different browsers, user settings, text and display sizes which you cannot control, the web is an inherently flexible medium. You cannot place web content precisely over a big background image and expect it to stick. The only reliable way to retain precision is to place text on an image using your graphics editor, then flatten image and text layers and save for web as jpg, gif or png.

Email link in Dreamweaver CS5

I need an email link ( I'm using Dreamweaver CS5) when I use the
Email Link on the right insert panel in Dreamweaver, it changes to the
same as my navigational links. I need the email link to look different
than my navigational links. I have a jpeg image, which includes a
background and text, the text being my email address. At this point I
will just type my email address. I will need coding and/or java script
codes to convert the information to an email address link.
What is Property Inspector does this have anything to do with
email links, if so where is it and how do I use it?
Need answers as soon as possible.
Thanks

The email info was perfect.
One more question regarding Dreamweaver CS5?
I have created a table and in the table is text and PayPal buttons. The table is
in an AP Div.
Under the table, I have another AP Div and in it is animation.
Another AP Div, in it credit card logos.
The problem: Under the table is too much space and then the AP Div.
How do I narrow the space between the table and the div tag under the table?
It looks good in "Design View" in Dreamweaver, but on the internet it looks
terrible - the large space under the table and then the AP Div.
Also, when I close Dreamweaver and reopen, the AP Div tags are overlapping in
the table, each time I open the page
I have to move the Divs out of the table.
The animation is not the problem, because I deleted the animation and there's
still a large gap.
WHAT the heck is wrong?
I've worked on this problem for hours and it's still looks awful.
Can you S-T-O-P the Table/Div Nightmares!
Thanks, Judy Long

Tip - delete any email address code in the Insert email link prior to use!

I have been using the email link for a while now. I know its not secure, but in certain cases it can be used - I think.
Today I found a strange problem.
I have a recordset with lots of email addresses in it which are shown on an encrypted password and userlevel protected page.
The idea is to allow users with fully authorised access to the page to be able to email the other users by clicking on a link and opening their email client.
The email addresses are displayed as follows on the page:
<td>Email address:</td>
<td><?php echo htmlentities($row_clubedit['club_chair_email'], ENT_COMPAT, 'utf-8'); ?></td>
So after highlighting and copying the php code, I click on the insert email link in the insert menu.
The insert panel comes up with some code in the email link field without me paying any attention to it.
I paste my code into the text part of the link panel.
It comes up with the following code:
<td><a href="mailto:<?php echo $row_joinupset['mail']; ?>"><?php echo htmlentities($row_clubedit['club_chair_email'], ENT_COMPAT, 'utf-8'); ?></a></td>
Note that thre are now two different recordsets in the email address.These recordsets do exist on the page, but I did not insert the $row_joinupset['mail'] into the code - Dreamweaver did it.
Checking further, I find that earlier on the page I had created an email link by the same method using the joinupset recordset. The insert Email Link panel had not cleared the old email address from it's cache, so all the email adresses after the first one pointed to the same email address.
Because the page showed the correct email address, I did not notice until I tested my code, and found that every one called up the first email address.
I do not know if this is a bug in Dreamweaver, or why it happens, but it does.
Tip - delete any code in the email adress field of the insert panel prior to inserting the correct email address code.

I have gone though this process yesterday and worked for me.
I would suggest you to have following things handy before calling Apple
1. Serial number of apple device which is associated with ur apple id
2. At least one answer to your old security questions
3. And you should be logged on to my account page of apple Id so that when customer care demands generation of 4 digit code you can do it.
This complete process is very simple but may take some time but apple guy was very helpful in my case.
Also remember the answers to the security questions are case sensitive.
Good luck
