It looks as if the syntax of the address is munged. You need something like this: "####[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <####[EMAIL PROTECTED]> if you are typing the address directly into an e-mail client. Actually, it is much easier in that case to just use: ####[EMAIL PROTECTED] since the stuff inside the quotes is just commentary and in this case duplicates the address anyway. If you leave off the quoted "friendly" version of an address, then you don't need the "<>" delimiters around the canonical address. Normally the quoted version would be something like this: "John Q. Public" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Where are the users obtaining the address? If it's linked from a web page where you announce the list, then the HTML needs to look like this: <p>You can <a href="mailto:####[EMAIL PROTECTED]";>subscribe to my list</a> if you want to.</a> The "<>" delimiters in HTML and the same delimiters in the email address serve entirely different purposes and are not intermingled in mailto links of HTML. Use only the canonical address there, and put whatever friendly stuff you want between <a href="....."> and </a> tags, as I have put "subscribe to my list" in this example.
