The reason is simple... most email clients seperate multiple addresses by semicolon. If you load a db table with a string of emails that are comma delimited, you cannot create a hyperlink that will load the emails into the email client automatically. For example, a string of emails returned from a table like thus...
[email protected],[email protected],[email protected] when usung a hyperlink like this... <a href="mailto:[email protected],[email protected],[email protected]";>[email protected],[email protected],[email protected]</a> will not work, but it works fine using the Witango email action. But when using a string like this... [email protected];[email protected];[email protected] And using a hyperlink like this... <a href="mailto:[email protected];[email protected];[email protected]";>[email protected],;[email protected];[email protected]</a> Works for the email client, but not the email action in Witango. -----Original message----- From: Ben Johansen [email protected] Date: Fri, 5 Feb 2010 15:31:54 -0600 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Witango-Talk: Changing comma delim to semicolon delim in the Mail Action at a loss for why?, but according to RFC 2822 comma is the only separator allowed"The destination fields of a message consist of three possible fields, each of the same form: The field name, which is either "To", "Cc", or "Bcc", followed by a comma-separated list of one or more addresses "Read more: http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc2822.html#ixzz0ehQZoxaH On Feb 5, 2010, at 8:35 AM, WebDude wrote: Is this possible?
