I’m using EE2.1.3, build 20110411.

I have a WYGWAM field for body text.

When an email is entered it is doubled up in the rendered page as below:
```
<a href="mailto:[email protected]"></a>
<a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a>
```
The first is not visible.

If a subject is entered for the email then it is rendered as follows, in which case if the link is clicked then the subject is ignored when opened in email clients.
```
<a href="mailto:[email protected]?subject=Some"></a>
<a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a>
```
My users want to enter subjects and messages for their emails but can’t.

What is going on?

Hi, Craig. Does the same problem happen if it is in a standard textarea field? If it does, then we can continue troubleshooting, but it doesn’t, you’ll need to contact the author.

Does that help?
