For anyone that wants to work on this I think the issue is line 229 of this file https://github.com/TheOdinProject/theodinproject/blob/main/app/views/user_mailer/welcome_email.html.erb

I think we need to remove the after mailto: and before the email address.

Thanks for quick reaction. If i may suggest - space after mailto: is redundant. https://github.com/TheOdinProject/theodinproject/blob/main/app/views/user_mailer/welcome_email.html.erb#L229

Yes, that is what I meant to say 😆 Thanks
