Re: How do I insert an email link in Amaya???

Lucy,

I infer that by 'email link' you mean a link that contains a mailto URL.  The process is the same as for creating any link.

1. Highlight the text to be made into a link.
2. Click on the Link element icon.
3. Type the URI, in this case "mailto:userxxx@domainyyy.zzz'.
4. Click on Confirm.

Net: Amaya has no special facility for creating links for different URI schemes: http, ftp, mailto, etc.

Note that mailto works only if the user has a local mail client defined, i.e. it will usually not work if the user has a webmail client.  It is therefore important to provide the email address as visible text in addition to the mailto URL.  One common method is to enter the email address as plain text, then make that text into an equivalent mailto link, thus (in the source):
  <a href="mailto:Queen@Country.gov">Queen@Country.gov</a>
