I have just started up grading to Rails 3. mail_to no longer works,
you just get a lot of garbage. With what do I replace it?

Thanks

The mail_to helper is still present in edge Rails, so I’m not sure what
is
going wrong. Can you provide an example of your invocation, and what it
is
outputting?

Hi,

I am using Rails 3 Beta 3. The code is:

<%= mail_to(supplier.email, h(supplier.email), :subject => “Bathroom
Direct Order:”, :encode => “javascript”) %>

This has worked fine up till Rails 2.3.5. Below is what now appears in
the view:

Guidance will be most welcome.

Isn’t that rails obfuscating the mailto link so that parsers cannot
harvest email addresses so easily? Does the mailto link work if you
follow it?

Hey Paul,

That javascript looks correct. mail_to should return an html_safe
string. Escaped html indicates it isn’t.

So if the problem is that the html is being escaped, then this is a
bug. file a ticket on the rails lighthouse.

To get around the bug, use <%=raw mail_to(…) %> or <%=
mail_to(…).html_safe %>

Hi Kieran,

Thanks for that. The raw option worked. I will file a ticket on the
rails lighthouse.
