John sent an email to Tom, who sent me an email, embedding the original email. In Gmail, this is the message Tom sent me:
Hi I'm tom.

I wanted to send a message John. I do not have John's email, however from the email that Tom sent me, I can see that John's email is john@example.com.
The problem is that beside john@example.com
, there is a [mailto:john@example2.com]
.
So to email John, should I email john@example.com or john@example2.com ?
To rephrase the question, what does the mailto beside the sender's email mean?
So do you mean to say that it's supposed to be
From: john@example.com [mailto:john@example.com]
. If that's the case, why put themailto
part visible at all if its exactly the same as thefrom
? – Pacerier – 2012-01-11T05:42:20.727Because the mailto: is an indicator to the OS that this is an email address, no matter what the context - it could be on a webpage, in an email, in a document. – Paul – 2012-01-11T05:51:31.143
@BeeDee ok I didn't know that this was a basic question.. – Pacerier – 2012-01-11T18:32:40.763
@BeeDee You're on the wrong site. SF is for administrators. This is SU. – Daniel Beck – 2012-01-18T09:26:47.123
