I want to let people email the article author. I am using custom fields, as it is a news paper and the person entering the article into EE and the actual author getting the byline credit are different.

I am using this code (inside EE weblog tags, of course):

<div id="stats2" class="clearfloat">Written by {encode=”{email_address}” title={byline}}</div>

It displays properly, but the mailto link is this:
â€�[email protected]â€�

“Automatically turn URLs and email addresses into links?” option is set to “NO”.

What am I doing wrong?

Welcome to the forums, pixelmom. First of all, you’re using “fancy” quotes in your code instead of regular ones. Try this:

<div id="stats2" class="clearfloat">Written by {encode="{email_address}" title={byline}}</div>

Thanks Ingmar! That was it.

Glad to hear it 😊
