Old mailto: notation?

Old mailto: notation?

[François Pinard]

Hi, Org people.

I decided to clean up all those emails lying around in my notes, and
better validate ~/.ecompleterc against other Org information I have.  A
bit of a burden to do, but I guess it has to be done one day.

There are many occurrences of "<user@domain.name>" notations in my
files, which I could all turn into "mailto:user@domain.name", but yet, I
still have a bit of nostalgia for the older notation.

Is there some easy way to get Org to read and understand the older
notation as meaning the same as the equivalent mailto: notation, and
then, of course, behaving like it?  Or else, should I rather just forget
about the old notation, give in, and turn all occurrences to mailto:s?

François

Hi, everybody.  Sorry for my noise.

I finally did the later, and now use "mailto:" about everywhere.  With a
few Emacs keyboard macros and some patience, it was easily done. :-) The
way Org supports "mailto:" already seems to be worth the change!
