How to disable an email link?
I am using Ruby on Rails 3 and I would like to disable an email address link in a HTML email.
For example, if in an email I send some raw HTML like
Hi, you email is: <br/>
[email protected]
Gmail autodetects that this is an email address and changes it to
Hi, you email is: <br/>
<a target="_blank" href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a>
I would like to have this output
# Text without the 'mailto:' link
Hi, you email is:
[email protected]
How can I do that?
Answer
I have a more natural suggestion: wrap the email/url in an anchor hyperlink.
<a name="myname">[email protected]</a>
Since the text is already wrapped in a hyperlink, Gmail gives up and leave it alone. :)
(Note: also worked for Apple mail client.)
