Email redirects

Hi,


I'm trying to set up an email address link as a Matrix redirect asset, in order to be able to track the number of hits to this redirect asset via our web analytical software.



I am using the code:

<a href="./?a=123456">email@email.com</a>

Where '123456' is the redirect asset which has its URL set to 'mailto:email@email.com' on the Details screen



However, clicking on this updated link , opens the email window twice and also make the web page where the link appears go blank.

I have tried a both a 'page redirect asset' and a 'HTML redirect asset' and get the same errors with both.



Any suggestion for how I can make this work?



Any help would be much appreciated.

This isn't strictly the role of the redirect asset, however if you wanted to output the value of the url you entered you could do this:

    
    email@email.com
