What is the difference between an Email field and a text field?

Does clicking an email address send the email immediately?

  1. No.
  2. Clicking the address opens the default mail app and places the address in the recipient field.
  3. You still need to add the subject and message content, then send the email manually.

Why am I asked to correct the email format?

  2. Make sure there are no extra spaces, full-width punctuation, or unrelated characters.
  3. Edit the address and press Return again until the value is saved normally.
