User signs up on website, site sends out automated activation email and echos the following onto the signup page:

Thank you for signing up!
Please check your email <a href="link to email client">here</a> for an activation email...

Is it at all possible to create the link above by using the users email address, assuming that some users may be using a work email and not have access to it by following just the domain name after the @ symbol?

    I think every user should know where to check their email, so I don’t see any point in giving that link … – CBroe Jan 29 '14 at 11:13
  • Good call. I think I've put too many hours into building this damn thing today that my ideas are rapidly getting worse. :-s – Wildcard27 Jan 29 '14 at 11:16

You can only open the preset mail client by a mailto: markup.

Since then you open a new email implicitly, this might not be what you want:

How can I launch the eMail client, and then do a page redirect with Javascript?

  • @matt1985 Yeah I see, but what made you or somebody else downvote? This is the only right answer AFAIK. ;) – loveNoHate Jan 29 '14 at 11:18
  • @matt1985 Haha, right. As the downvoter points out there must be a solution to this, would be helpful if he enlightened us both. ;) – loveNoHate Jan 29 '14 at 12:13
