moderated Re: Fixed - Links in confirmation emails. #bug

Aha! Looking back, I see that this issue originally showed up when testing from Gmail.
It turns out that the confirmation mail link issue disappears when using Outlook Mail !
Microsoft apparently disables mailto links as part of their "Safe Links" anti-phishing system.
Please change the subscribe and unsubscribe confirmation emails so that the mailto links are disabled -- or so that they function the same as a reply.
Quite a few people are going to click that shiny link instead of noticing the instruction to send a reply.
(When using a phone, the full text may not even show up on their small screen. We're seeing lots of cases where people don't see anything but the first paragraph
of an email.)
(Good that you are recharging regularly. This is a heads-up for me to take a couple of days off from the Yahoo Groups transition project -- which is smoking out lots of issues for our multiple groups with several thousand members each.)
Thanks!
