Clicking on the above link will not launch a new compose window in your recipient's email client because this is an invalid HTML tag. What comes after mailto: should always be an email address instead of a HTTP URL.
Sorry if I was not clear. I want to see who is clicking each link or at least a single specific link in a campaign. Right now "Reports >> Link Activity >> Export subscribers who clicked" has no link data associated with the emails in the list.
Sorry for this next one, in the interim can I track with Google, adding the email there as such? Will this parse correctly as a link in the newsletter?

Hi @Royal,
All links will be tracked except for [Email]. Here's why:
If your HTML tag looks like that:
<a href="mailto:[Email]">Email us</a>Clicking on this link will launch a new compose window in your recipient's email client.
If we convert this [Email] tag into a trackable link, the result HTML tag will look like this:
<a href="mailto:http://yourdomain.com/t/a/2" title=""></a>Clicking on the above link will not launch a new compose window in your recipient's email client because this is an invalid HTML tag. What comes after
mailto:should always be an email address instead of a HTTP URL.Hope this clarifies.
Thanks.

I need to see who clicked what.
Ahh. That will come in the next version which is still currently being worked on.

Yes that will work.
