Hi Adam,

if you have in your catalog.cfg a line like

Variable    EMAILTOME     adam@metalogica.com

and you have a line in any html file like

<A HREF="mailto:__EMAILTOME__"> Adam Godman </A>
               (^^ 2 x _ )

you get a mailto link in your browser like

<A HREF="mailto:adam@metalogica.com"> Adam Godman </A>

Regards,

Joachim
