    I assume your talking about having the address on a web page so you can click on the location to pop up a message with the address in it and the HTML coding to do that is:.....

    <a href= "mailto:info@smyth1.net ">info@smyth1.net</a>

    Or you could do this:..

    You can contact me by clicking, <a href= "mailto:info@smyth1.net ">HERE</a>

    Hope this is what your looking for

    It requires an HTML ANCHOR tag for email:

    Code:
    Standard email link:
<a href= "mailto:somebody@some-domain.com ">EMAIL</a>

Auto add the subject:
<a href= "mailto:somebody@some-domain.com?subject=Hello World ">EMAIL</a>

    Gaston, I think we need to go back to your original question which was:..

    If you don't understand code then for us to be of any help we need to know what you want to set up and where do you want to set it up at.

    Can you explain in more detail what it is you want to do.

    Cheers, Ray

    Well frankly, I don't believe I can help you any further because I have never observed what you describe.

    Unless you could forward me such an e-mail message with the EMAIL button inserted into the text so I could examine it then I am at a loss.

    I really don't understand the necessity of what you describe because clicking on the reply button on the navigation bar inserts your e-mail address in a reply message anyway.

    Cheers, Ray

    In Thunderbird new message window, go to Insert Menu > Link

    Enter the text for the Link and then enter the below for the Link Location, change to YOUR email address:
    Code:
    mailto:somebody@some-domain.com
    To insert a button instead of text link, go to Insert Menu > HTML and use this code, change to your address and can also change the button text > value= "xxxxx "
    Code:
    <form>
<input type= "button" value= "Email Me "
onClick= "location.href='mailto:somebody@some-domain.com' ">
</form>

    Thanks TonyT, I'm amazed I never knew such a thing existed as I've been using Netscape, now Seamonkey since about day one.

    However, I must say after running a few test to see how it works. I'm not sure I want to know -- Ha!

    Ray,

    You can actually compose the entire email message in a mailto link or button:
    Code:
    <a href= "mailto:somebody@some-domain.com?subject=the-subject&body=Hello World "
    You can send to multiple recipients at same time using comma separated addresses:
    Code:
    <a href= "mailto:somebody@some-domain.com,joe#yahoo.com,bill@gmail.com?subject=the-subject&body=Hello World "
    You can CC & BCC as well:
    Code:
    <a href= "mailto:somebody@some-domain.com?cc=joe@gmail.com "
<a href= "mailto:somebody@some-domain.com?bcc=joe@gmail.com "
    You can use %0A in the body to start a new line or use %0A%0A to have a blank line between paragraphs.
