hi everyone,

first of all, i’ve just started learning php and kirby so apologies for any unprofessional wording or presumably “weird” questions. i already spent some time googling and browsing through this forum but couldn’t find any similar cases.

i’ve been trying to find out how to make an e-mail link work.  
in my panel it says  
(email: [xyz@email.com](mailto:xyz@email.com) text: mail)

whenever i click on it in the browser an e-mail window pops up with the following:

any ideas? i’m thankful for any tipps!

Which version of Kirby are you using? There was a bug, but it was fixed in 2.4.1.

Oh, jes, i’m using 2.4.0.  
So updating to 2.4.1. might solve the problem?
