Would it be possible to twig MHonArc so that when it does encounter a
mailto: link (yes, I'm putting them in by hand!) it converts it to a URL
but leaves the mailto out of the text? I get a lot of messages that
contain lines like
E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
and if I manually convert these to
E-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
then it gets turned into a URL, but what I really want is
E-mail: <a href="mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]">[EMAIL PROTECTED]</a>
so that it looks as it was posted.
My concern arises from the fact that I maintain a list of scientific
meetings which I do just by copying all announcements I receive to a
spool file and using MHonArc to convert it. The e-mail addresses in this
case are really useful, and often they are not the same as the address
of the person who sent the message.
