Hi, I am using a mailto standard HTML link on my website but when clicked it doesn’t work. The code is `<a href="mailto:(my mail)">` . My theme is Aspen.

Thanks in advance for any help.

I’ve checked on my Android phone and it does work, but on my computer it doesn’t (Chrome and Safari).

If you put your email address into the link panel in RapidWeaver Classic it will automatically build the mailto link for you, like this:

 ![CleanShot 2024-09-09 at 11 .25.57@2x](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/realmacsoftware1/original/3X/6/4/64159ca7943acd8cb930c11a7d3a0c60250610a8.jpeg)

If you are writing it out in HTML, you can use the following code:

```auto
<a href="mailto:someone@example.com">Send email</a>

```

If you post a link to your live website, we can take a look at the code and see what the issue is.

Hope that helps!
