The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

["Widerski, Betty" <address@concealed>]

I want to put a mailto: link on a list’s home page, like

<a href=""mailto:address@concealed?subject=unsubscribe" mylist" target="_blank">Unsubscribe from mylist</a>

 

It appears on the list home page as if it’s a link, but clicking on it does nothing. I tried with and without target=”_blank” to open a new window.

 

I then tried linking to a basic website:

<a href=""https://my.site.edu">go" here</a>

 

This also looked like a link but didn’t function. I then tried linking to an internal Sympa web_tt2 page:

<a href=""https://listsdev.site.edu/lists/help/admin-po-createlist.html">internal" link</a>

 

The link to an internal page works.  Is there some configuration in Sympa that prevents links to external sites working when the HTML is on a Sympa page?

 

I have partly gotten around it by having a separate nonSympa WWW root above it (Sympa is listsdev.site.edu/lists, nonSympa is listsdev.site.edu/something.html). If I put the mailto: URL on an HTML page external to Sympa but still on the same server it works properly, so it feels like Sympa is the block.

 

Thanks

Betty
