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: user(_at_)site(_dot_)domain
and if I manually convert these to
E-mail: mailto:user(_at_)site(_dot_)domain
then it gets turned into a URL, but what I really want is
E-mail: <a
href="mailto:user(_at_)site(_dot_)domain">user(_at_)site(_dot_)domain</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.

I'm a bit of a novice, and couldn't find the answer in the documentation,
so forgive my ignorance. I would like to convert email addresses in the
text into mailto: url's the way it is done in the headers, but it
appears that although MHonArc does it fine in the header, I couldn't
find a way to have it parse the message other than manually going in and
adding mailto: before each address. Is there an argument or resource
that can be used to force this behaviour?
