I was hoping to see the Group addresses in the message footer be mailto links in the emails that members receive.? They actually show up as text rather than links so folks have to cut and paste the addresses into a new email.? I did at some point check force html in the message formatting section but I don't remember what the footer displayed before that time.? Is there something I may have done or not done to get those to display as mailto?

John, you are receiving this group (GMF) as Summary. That's barebones. Not sure how you receive your group emails, of course.
Change to Full Featured Digest or Single to check it out.

GMF Wiki: (unofficial) Help for members (and would-be members) and group managers

I receive individual emails for my account so that's where I see this.? Some do show up as mailto links such as the view/reply online and reply to group line.? And at the end of the footer where the your subscription and contact owner line is.? But the ones in the middle which I can change from "post" down to "help" do not even though they seem to show as blue in this response from my cut and paste.

John,

But the ones in the middle which I can change from "post" down to "help" do not even though they seem to show as blue in this response from my cut and paste.

The custom footer one can set (like you have) doesn't really support what you are trying to do with email addresses.? It's more of a text-only box, no support for HTML or RichText like many of the other boxes like setting the group's description page, which has the formatting options on a ribbon at the top of the box.? The custom footer does have a very-very limited "live-link" functionality and that's only if you include a full URL with http(s)://... which it will recognize as a URL and make it active for you.? But it doesn't recognize the mailto: prefix for an email address so it doesn't make that an active link.

IMO, you should post this at the beta forum () as it can be considered missing functionality, after all it recognizes the HTTP: but not the MAILTO:, so it should be an easy fix/enhancement.

Cheers,
Christos

John,

"help" do not even though they seem to show as blue in this response
from my cut and paste.

The text entry box for Message Footer addins in Settings page is plain text. Apparently Groups.io auto-linkifies http(s): URLs when the footer is inserted into a formatted email message, but does not do so with mailto: URLs.

The email interface of the member receiving the message may also play a role in this. Gmail's web interface, for example, auto-linkified the email address (showing "mailto:" as plain text). When that same message was seen in Thunderbird (via IMAP from Gmail) it did not linkify the email address of the mailto: URL.

Thank you Shal,

I'm wishing I hadn't opened this question as I have gotten another to my gmail account and this one the mailto links worked.? I have no idea.? I'll look at this here for a while.
