This is a repost of a problem that is listed in the WysiwygPluginProblemReports topc. The problem still exists in my 0.16 installation.

In regards to the question of why it shouldn't do this - some plugins use the "Email" variable on the users homepage, using WysiwygPlugin changes the value of the variable to a text string which is no longer their email address.

Is there a way I can turn this off in my current installation ?

Original posting:

E-Mail addresses shouldn't be replaced with explicit mailto: links:

- * E-mail z@aNOSPAM.b.c about Win32 API from .Net + * E-mail z@aNOSPAM.b.c about Win32 API from .Net

Response Why not? It far more explicit and intention-revealing. -- CrawfordCurrie - 22 Aug 2005

IMHO:

* users expect that e-mail addresses are auto-linked * overly complex edit screen (the explicit link without any additional meaning for it) scares off casual contributers (KISS) * changing an e-mail address suddenly requires changing it in two places

OK, I changed this in 0.15

This is not fixed on my install of 0.16. Could it be some interference with one of the plugins below?

WysiwygPlugin, DefaultPlugin, FormQueryPlugin, SpreadSheetPlugin, CommentPlugin, SlashFilenamePlugin, EditTablePlugin, FindElsewherePlugin, GenerateSearchPlugin, HistoryPlugin, InterwikiPlugin, LatexModePlugin, RenderListPlugin, RevCommentPlugin, SessionPlugin, SlideShowPlugin, SmiliesPlugin, TablePlugin, TreePlugin, UserInfoPlugin, WebDAVPlugin

Could someone confirm that this works on their 0.16 install, and share the list of installed plugins? Thanks.
