Send street address as a link in email

I am trying to send an email with a street address in it so that when the recipient receives the email they can click a link that will load the map application to the specific address. The problem I am having is the "link" is not picking up the city, state zip portion of the address. It will pick up the street name and number and allow that portion to be linked and clicked and load the map application but without the city state sip portion I find it picking random locations hundreds of miles away (my last attempt asked me if I meant a place in Georgia or Arizona; I am in DC).
Any thoughts would be helpful

Go to the maps application and type in the full address you want to share. Once you search for the address click the little button on the bottom right next to directions and drop a pin. Then click the arrow that points right next to the address on the pin. Click on share location. And choose Email or Message.
Done

Get the address behind a link in email

Hey all
I have a problem I can't seem to work out.
One of the email systems that I have to use automatically adds the word "blocked" to any html link in an email. So for example, if you get an email from Expedia with a link to your itinerary that says "Click here for your trip details", it will change the underlying link address from "http://expedia.com/" to "blockedhttp://expedia.com".
To get around this, you have to manually copy the link, and paste it into the browser, then remove the "blocked". Kind of a hassle.
I want to script this process as a Service. I've written Services before, and have experience in AS, but I can't figure out how to do it. Parsing the link and sending to my browser isn't a problem. The problem is that I haven't found a way to get Mail to pass me the value of the LINK instead of the TEXT.
I've even tried using Automator and telling it (as a Service) "Service receives selected URLs in Any Application" - but of course it doesn't recognize "blockedhttp" as a valid URL so it gets ignored.
Mail has the right-click "copy link" function - if I could figure out how to script that, I could grab the link of the clipboard and parse it. Alas, no dice there either.
Anyone have any clever thoughts about how I can extract the link from that href in Mail, or execute the "Copy Link" function?

Well, for anyone in the future who might have a situation like this to solve, here's the solution. At least, the only solution I could come up with, I'm sure a more brilliant programmer would do something different.
There seemed to be no way of grabbing the embedded link from the email text and getting it into a custom Service with a simple right-click. The suggestion to parse the file as raw source was interesting, but it would have meant parsing all of the sometimes several dozen emails I get everyday, looking for the few with links.
So, I went a different way. I wrote a script to handle the "on open location" event, and had it parse out the 'blocked' portion of the link, then fed that cleaned link back to the Finder to open in my default browser.
Save the Applescript as an application so it produced a bundle, then went into the bundle's info.plist file and set it up as the default handler for protocol 'blockedhttp' and 'blockedhttps'. It was added to LaunchServices (which OS X took care of for me). Now clicking a link formatted that way causes my AS app to be called as the handler, it does its simple little dance and passes it on.
Truth is the solution was simple, once I looked at it differently.
Hope that helps someone in the future!
on run
display dialog ¬
"This script applet will respond to webpage links beginning with:"¬
& return & return & ¬
"blockedhttp(s)://" buttons {"OK"} ¬
default button 1 with title "AKO Blockage Handler" with icon 1
tell application "Finder" to update (path to me)
end run
on open location this_url
set theLength to length of this_url
set newURL to (characters 8 through theLength) of this_url as string
tell application "Finder"
open location newURL
end tell
end open location
To make the info.plist file handle my new "protocol" I just added a couple of keys:
<key>CFBundleURLTypes</key>
<array>
<dict>
<key>CFBundleURLName</key>
<string>BlockedURL Helper</string>
<key>CFBundleURLSchemes</key>
<array>
<string>blockedhttp</string>
<string>blockedhttps</string>
</array>
</dict>
</array>
The CFBunderURLName is just a friendly name for the protocol, and the URLSchemes defines the protocol identifier.

Does the iPhone send street addresses over bluetooth to cars?

I've searched a lot and found answers that say it's the iPhone, it's the car, or both. I've not seen any concrete answers either way with definitive information though. This is dealing with the MyGig system. I saw the other post mentioning MyGig and read through the comments, but unless I missed it, I acknowledge is quite possible, I didn't see anything addressing the issue I'm talking about.
I have no problems getting the phone numbers & names, but I just cannot get the address over. This makes the GPS aspect completely useless. I'd hate to have to disable the bluetooth contact export option and use the system's internal phone book just to get this to work. So my question is, has anyone had any success with their iPhone sending contacts to their car? It doesn't have to be a MyGig system, if it works with any system that would make me think that it's a compatibility between the two and not just a gross oversight of Apple with what the iPhone should be able to do.

when i was running 4.3.x on my iphone 4 i noticed that from time to time the wifi would actually mysteriously disconnect and my iphone 4 would not try to reconnect just continue to do whatever it was doing, like watching videos on 3g gobbling up my data plan. it became so frequent i turned off cellular data entirely. since i went to ios 5 i have not seen this problem come back. even on wifi if you turn off cellular data you don't get visual voice mail!! hmm
maybe if see a genius they might be able to explain what is going on
i complained to at&t and they gave me a one time credit and removed the overage charges on my account

How can I send email using two different email address that both link back to my one exchange account on my Ipad mini

How can I send email using two different email address that both link back to my one exchange account on my Ipad mini?
On my PC I simply have a master return email address and use a POP for the secondary address. Both are through the one exchange account without a problem. I need to be able to do the same on my Ipad.

Ah, I should have made that clear. My domain didn't come from google. It was purchased at and is hosted at dreamhost, but I haven't used their email servers in years - I just route everything through gmail. I actually have a bunch of domains (with websites).
Gmail has an option that lets someone with custom domains send (and receive) email through gmail using the custom domain once Google confirms proper ownership of the domain (to prevent spammers and such). Gmail has a setting for "send email as" which allows gmail to be sent using a custom domain as the sender. I'm pretty sure Apple's old mobileme had this feature too, but I didn't use it.

When I add an email address or website to an email Firefox doesn't highlight it so people can just click on the link

When I'm typing an email to forward to someone and I add an email address or website link Firefox doesn't highlight it so the link can be clicked on by the person I'm sending the email to. This problem doesn't occur when I use Internet explorer to login to my email. It automatically highlights the link so it can be clicked on and re-directed to the email address or website. How can I remedy this?

Just above the text area that you use to enter the message text on the "Compose New Mail page" there is usually a button bar with buttons to add text formatting like Bold and Italic.<br />
That toolbar may also have a button to turn a text link into a clickable hyperlink (look for a chain like button).<br />
You can select the text and click that button to turn the link into a clickable hyperlink.<br />
If you can't find the button then hover them all to check the tooltip of each (e.g. Insert hyperlink).<br />

Problem with replies in Maverick's mail. Originating emails send fine. When replying to an email (various addresses) the reply is hung up and can not be sent. Option becomes put in draft, delete, etc. Any suggestions would be helpful

Problem with replies in Maverick's mail. Originating emails send fine. When replying to an email (various addresses) the reply is hung up and can not be sent. Option becomes put in draft, delete, etc. Any suggestions would be helpful. Mid 2013 iMac.

I don't know how rare this is. I went a week or so without a problem, and now it's starting to recur. Also, in some instances, an email will look unsent (remain in the outbox on the Treo), but it has been sent, and recipients are replying while I'm trying to figure out what is going on. Further, it will send the same email over and over during this madness.
This is a show stopper. If there isn't a software fix soon, I may chuck this phone in the garbage.
Post relates to: Treo 800w (Sprint)
UPDATE: The problem comes and goes. The next day, no changes to the treo, everything workeds. Now i'm suspecting the sprint server, and how it/the phone responds from failing to send while roaming. I've since turned off roaming, and haven't had a problem for several days.

How do I "link" an email address in the body of an email?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Highlight some text in the message body, Insert/Link (Ctrl-L), enter mailto:[email protected] in the Link Location box.

Does this happen in Thunderbird? http://www.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/support/
Or in a web based interface? Then check whether same happens in another browser to see whether that's a browser or website issue.
