email handler PHP script – help needed

Hi there,
I hope you guys have an idea why this is not working.
I found an instruction on how to realise a clickable mailto: link wich is handled by a PHP script (email-handler.php) so that it is more or less not readable by bots.

The Code to send an email in this example to (Email address hidden if logged out) (also a little bit “encrypted”) would look like this:
<a href="/email-handler.php">mail<span style="display: none;">no-spam-please</span>@<span style="display: inline;">domain.com</span></a>
…so far so good.

Then I put the corresponding PHP file email-handler.php in to the root folder of WP. The content of this file would look like this:

<?php
     /* content of the file "email_handler.php" */
     header ("Location: mailto: (Email address hidden if logged out) ");
     exit();
?>

I did this allready on another WP website using enfold and it worked. Now I tried to use this trick on another site also using enfold and it w’ont work at all. Just getting 404 Errors.

I know this is maybe not a theme-issue but I don´t understand why it works on one installation and not on the other one.

Any Clue ? Help would be really appreciated.
Or maybe you have a better way to have a safe mailto: link on an enfold website??

Best Regards,
GePu
