On a Web page, how can I change an e-mail address of text based on a URL link?

I use to have an add-on that would take the addresses displayed as text in the Web pages to display as the link URL. When I would click on the link of the URL, it would open a new e-mail message. What is the name of this add-on or how to get this feature working again in my browser?

I don't remember using one, but I've heard of the Add-ons that any URL in the "linkify" page is clickable. Maybe they would also "linkify" an email address?

To work around the problem, you can use the bookmarklet. This is a script that save you as a bookmark so you can click on the bookmark when you want to run. Here's how:

(1) select and copy the following script (it's actually a long series):

javascript:var eml=window.getSelection(); window.location.href="mailto:"+eml; void 0;

(2) a convenient location on your bookmarks bar or Bookmarks Menu with the right mouse button and choose new bookmark.

(3) paste the script in the location field. In the name field, you can then type mailto or name of your choice.

(4) click on the Add button

Here is an example for the test. Select the address of e-mail using the mouse:

[email protected]

Then click on the bookmark. Success?

In addition, this script does not check that you have selected is a valid email address, or remove excess spaces at both ends, so it could definitely be improved...
