users, gotta love'm
FYI, (you might know this, but thought i would mention it)
you can have SUBJECT and BCC in the mailto
I don't like to just throw up a mail thing without a subject, they
might not mail it right off, (see first statement ;-)
I split the email and use first mail as main mailto and subequent as
bcc, actually saves on email server
a href="mailto:[email protected][email protected],[email protected]&subject=newletter
for some company"
you can see all the possibilities here
http://www.ianr.unl.edu/internet/mailto.html
But, the reason it worked as comma separated in mailto was comma is
the standard separator, but in Witango mail action, it is treated as
an array, and that is why you needed the semi-colon, to separate the
email addresses, when witango sends the mail to mail server it will
comma separate the addresses

No... I am trying to do both. The links that are displayed in
results to the user are hyperlinks when searching on the site. The
table is also used for a bulkemail program and newsletter I have set
up. Each string (with multiple email addresses) are loaded in one
field (stupid I know, but users who felt they needed to add more
then one email address added more emails using a comma to seperate
them. In other words, I had a field set up to take 150 characters
and the users added multiple email addresses in that field).
Look... it's not a big deal. I can replace all the commas with a
semicolon in the table. In the newsletter and bulkemail program, I
can simply use @replace and can get it to work just fine. I should
have been more stringent in what the users were inputting. The
probelm is most of the users are from China and and there seems to
have been a problem with a translation.
Live and learn, eh?

in the Mail

You're trying to create a hyperlink, not insert the address in a
mail action, ok.
You can either create a one-row array with the column delimiter=;
or you can spin your string with an <@ROWS><@COL NUM=X>;</@ROWS>

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.

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

Is this possible? I mean, when adding multiple emails in the To:,
CC:, etc. in the Mail Action. I know I can do a replace
character... Thanks!
