Trouble using # in mailto
In the Navigation section, I added a link called "Need Help?" and for the url I put mailto:#GreenAdmins@HamptonAfffiliates.com. Sharepoint doesn't like the #. Clicking the link opens a new Outlook message but the TO field is not filled in. If I leave out the # it works as expected. In the body of a page, in a web part, I have the same link. Here I was able to use %23 instead of #, so mailto:%23GreenAdmins@HamptonAffiliates.com. That works as expected, a new message window opens with #GreenAdmins@HamptonAffiliates.com in the TO. When I put %23 in the navigation link and click OK, SharePoint nicely translates the %23 back to a # instead of saving it with %23. Quotes around the email address don't help either. Any idea's on how to get this working in the Navigation? Thanks! Rich Uchytil
