email addresses don't pdf correctly in Publisher 2007

[SherryC]

When I highlight someone's name and hyperlink it to an email address,
Publisher automatically adds mailto: at the beginning of the address and the
link works fine. But when I pdf it, whether I use the Publisher print as PDF,
or use the print menu and choose Adobe pdf, or go from Adobe and create a
pdf, the link on the email address ends up as mailto:mailto:emailaddress,
i.e., 2 mailto:'s show up. So then when you click on it, it opens up my email
program and puts one of "mailto:" in front of the address instead of just
putting the address there and the email won't go. I tried linking the
person's name as a web hyperlink and typing in the mailto: myself, but it
recognizes it as an email and switches the link to email link and adds the
2nd instance of the mailto:

What is going on?

Thanks,

If you are going to print your publication to Acrobat and add the email links in
the PDF, there is no reason to do email addresses in Publisher. Type out the
email address in total in your Publisher document, open the printed document in
Acrobat, Advanced, Links.
