On a webpage, how do you change a text based email address to an URL link?

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

I don't recall using one, but I have heard about add-ons that "linkify" any URL in the page so it is clickable. Maybe they would also "linkify" an email address?
As a workaround, you could use bookmarklet. That's a script which you save as a bookmark so you can click the bookmark when you want to run it. Here's how:
(1) Select and copy the following script (it's actually one long line):
<code>javascript:var eml=window.getSelection(); window.location.href="mailto:"+eml; void 0;</code>
(2) Right-click a convenient location on your Bookmarks Toolbar or Bookmarks Menu and choose New Bookmark.
(3) Paste the script into the Location field. Then in the name field, you can type mailto or any name you like.
(4) Click the Add button
Here's an example for testing. Select the email address using the mouse:
[email protected]
Then click the bookmark. Success?
''By the way, this script doesn't check that what you selected is a valid email, or remove excess spaces on either end, so it definitely could be improved...''

  • How do you change the text in portrait mode.

    How do you change the text in portrait mode.  I can edit it in landscape, but when I change the view the Latin and photos can't be edited and swapped with my material.  Thanks

    iBA should be approached like this:
    layout in landscape
    edit in portrait
    - -  check in both on your device
    Use the 'disable portrait orientation' option (Inspector/Document) for layouts you just don't see working in any manner but landscape.

  • How do you change the position of email sender so that it's on the left (sender[from], subject and date received)

    How do you change the position of email sender so that it's on the left (sender[from], subject and date received)

    In the Thread Pane where your messages are listed?
    You see that bar with the labels "From", "Subject", "Date" and so on? Well, they are buttons. You can click on them to sort your messages. You can also drag them with the mouse left and right to reposition them, and you can drag their ends to change the column widths.
    These are standard computer actions; you can do all of this in Windows Explorer ("My Computer") too.
    In Thunderbird, a right-click on any of these buttons will reveal a pop-up menu where you can select and deselect the columns to control what is shown.

  • How can I change my apple ID email address?

    How can I change my apple ID email address?

    I just did follow Varjak's instruction, but it refused. I was asked to enter my Apple ID's email address which unfortunately is the same as my Apple ID. I created two different passwords for each Apple ID n primary email address when I set up my I tune account in the first place, however.
    I do remember my Apple ID password because I have used it every time I installed new apps, but I completely forgot my password for the primary email address because I've never used it at all! I have another email address which I actively use it for all my email. I want to change my primary email address which happened to be my Apple ID as well to the one I actively use.
    Because of the explained problem, I can't log in to Icloud as I have been asked to verify by following the instruction sent to my primary email address.
    I would really appreciate it if any one can help me solve this problem.
    Thank you all.

  • How do I change just my iCloud email address not my apple ID?

    How do I change just my iCloud email address not my apple ID?

    You CANNOT change your iCloud email address once it is created and associated to you Apple Id (usually it is another email address).  First time you activate iCloud on your device and turn on email setting, you are prompted to create an iCloud email account and after choosing one that is available you are CLEARLY warned that ONCE CREATED YOU iCLOUD EMAIL IT CANNOT BE CHANGED!!!
    Fig.1 Warning if desired iCloud email      Fig. 2. Warning about creating new iCloud
    address is not available                         email which will be associated to you Apple Id
    You have two choices: a) create an alias for that account after you sign in icloud.com using either your apple id or your new created icloud email account (that's what I did) or b) create a new Apple Id (with all the pain it involves)
    I typed an incorrect iCloud email address and was linked to my Apple Id and now I have to live with this forever!?
    The workaround was to create an alias, but I have the feeling that something is wrong with my Apple Id
    All of us might make a petition to apple to allow us to change the 'main' icloud email address.  What if I misspelled it!? How difficult can it be? 
    I hope this be helpful and answer your question.
    P.S. In the same way... once you create your Apple Support Communities USERNAME it cannot be changed too!

    Hi! How do I change iphone 4 id (email address ) on the phone?

    You can change your e-mail address associated with your Apple ID, what you did is change the Apple ID instead.
    All content bought with an Apple ID cannot be merged or transferred to another Apple ID.
    Check your Apple ID here: Note: do not create a new Apple ID see above.

    Thanks Lawrence. I've spent over 3 hours on the phone/chatting to online support and none of it seemed to help as it all revolved around resetting emails etc but can't do any of it without my access to my old email. Now my phone won't take cloud because they advised to set up new apple ID and use that, but can't sign out of old one completely. Also doesn't help because my phone and laptop are set up on the old one. Thanks for the help.
