php mailto redirect causes Internet explorer 8 to call email client 2 times

14 August 2011 - 12:59 PM

I don't know if this is the right catagory in the forum.

My php mailto redirect causes Internet explorer 8 to open up 2 instances of my email client.

Tested Ie8 on in real XP OS and a virtual XP OS.

my email.php loks something like this (replaced my real email address with emailaddress@yoursite.com)

<?php
header ("Location: mailto:emailaddress@yoursite.com");
exit();
?>

I have something like the the following anchor, which I click on.

<a href="http://yoursite.com/email.php" rel="nofollow">Redirect Email address</a>

This works good in ie6 & ie9, firefox, chrome, opera, Apple Safari. (the email client is only opened up one time)

Is it just my code or is "internet explorer 8" just flaky.

Has anyone else noticed this?
