But the text above is not a URL list. This is just a plain-text address
list. The addresses may be linked to the proper URLs though, if it is
HTML page. That is how I understood that post. And that is a good
presentation of various Internet addresses to Aunt Tillie. She doesn't
know what "mailto" is (especially when she doesn't speak English), but
she knows what "email" is. "xmpp:" and "mailto:" are for computers, not
users. Aunt Tillie has no need to see that, but her computer should get
that when the link is clicked.
Greets,
