Hello. Total noob to EE here, but fairly experienced in web/html/php etc since a decade back.

I just started fiddling with EE today, and after having done the installation and usual Hello World examples, I started looking at variables and quickly found these interesting ones: {email}, {webmaster_email} and the seemingly awesome {encode}

However, when trying to be clever, I noticed one thing

{encode="{webmaster_email}” title=“Contact Us!”} - Works as you would assume.

{encode="{email}” title=“Contact Us!”} - Does not!

On screen, it outputs: {email" title="Contact Us!"}
where {email” linked (like this: “mailto:{email”’

Any ideas?

If you create a global variable it will work. However, it adds these characters to the end: â€
```
{encode="{email}” title=“Contact Us!”}
```
