I'd like to add a mailto link to our dashboard's 'message of the day' so our users can send us feedback.

Unfortunately, when I put an html tag, it's not rendered as html, it just shows the original code.

<a href="mailto:html.guide@about.com">Send email to your HTML Guide</a>

Any ideas?

I think you will be able to fix this issue.

Check this out:

WebFOCUS Managed Reporting Administrator’s Manual > Customizing Dashboard > Add a Message of the Day

You can add a message of the day that will display for public users and for authorized users.
You can display any text message up to 100 characters. By default, the message is included
in Dashboard. The message can be removed by deselecting the Check to use Message of the
Day check box.
You can change the message of the day outside of the View Builder by editing the
message.html file. This file is located in
drive:\ibi\WebFOCUS53\worp\worp_custom\dirname\message.html

where:
dirname
Is public for the general public view. Otherwise it is the directory specified in the Public
Views or Group Views window.
Open this file in any HTML editor and update the message text, which is the 
<TD
element
within the table.

(This is described in the 5.3.2 version of the manual)
