Linking to an e-mail address
You can create a link to an e-mail address. When a website visitor clicks the link, Contribute
creates a new message, with the e-mail address you specified, in the visitor’s default e-mail
application.
For example, you might create the text link “Contact us about our new products!” When a visitor
clicks the link, Contribute starts the visitor’s e-mail application and creates an e-mail message to
the Sales department.
To create a link to an e-mail address:
1. In your draft, do one of the following to indicate where the link will appear:
■ Place the insertion point in the draft.
■ Select text in the draft.
■ Select an image in the draft.
2. Do one of the following to open the Link dialog box:
■ Click the Link button in the toolbar, and then select E-mail Address.
■ Select Insert > Link > E-mail Address.
■ Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh), and then select Insert Link.
