    I’m sure this has come up before but for the life of me I can’t find what I’m after in the documentation, faq’s or help forums. Apologies in advance, I’m by no means a power user.
    I use table press for a contact list on a website I manage. The excel spreadsheet column of email addresses built as links that open the visitors email app and off they go. When I import it with table press the email addresses are all plain text. I can’t seem to figure out how to cleanly make them hot links. As a bonus it would be great if when it opens their email app it also fills in the subject line with “web inquiry” or something similar.
    Many thanks.

    Hang on I think I stumbled on it. If I select the cell, click link and then select the text/address it converts it. Sometimes ignorance is bliss.. If there is a cleaner way, and also add the autofill subject that would be swell. Thx.

    Hi,

    thanks for your post, and sorry for the trouble.

    Indeed, the way that you found now works well ??
    To have an auto-filled subject, you’ll need to slightly modify the HTML code, and append ?subject=Text to the email address, i.e. change

    <a href="[email protected]">...</a>

    to

    <a href="[email protected]?subject=Text">...</a>

    Regards,
    Tobias

    Outstanding. Thank you. I wish all plugins worked so well. I’ll request funds for a donation at the next board of directors meeting. We’re a small non-profit car club, but we all appreciate quality products – be they auto parts or plugins!
