Description

This field works just like a text field except that

it gives a validation error if it does not appear to be a valid email address
when rendered it is rendered as a mailto: link to the email (unless the render_dont_link property is set).

Same as Id field, except

name	default	description
render_dont_link	0	as for Metadata but actually applicable.

No additional phrases.

Email fields are stored in the database as

fieldname VARCHAR(255)

Most basic example.

{
    name => "contact_email",
    type => "email",
}

Do not render the email address as a mailto: link.

{
    name => "user_email",
    type => "email",
    render_dont_link => 1,
}
