Any idea why the mailto doesn’t work in latest 7.5.17 i tried the example from the doc : {contact_email_address:mailto title="Email about their dog" subject="Question about your dog" encode="no"} I changed the contact_email_address with my variable (early parsing and not) and the output is the tag itself..

Ah, yeah, that modifier is really designed for the email address field type

let me take a quick peek to see how hard it would be to make it more global
