Hi Andy,
Although I'm not sure about performance and I'm guessing that the
regular expression could be improved, I have a 3-liner that should
work in most cases:
var markup = $('body').html();
var modMarkup = markup.replace(/([EMAIL PROTECTED],4})/g,'<a
href="mailto\:$1">$1<\/a>')
$('body').html(modMarkup);
Hope that helps.
--Karl

Just to clarify, I'm looking to convert this HTML:
Logistically remote [EMAIL PROTECTED], infrared extended cable
prototype feedback, software, encapsulated
port element technician development logistically
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
to this:
Logistically remote <a
href="mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]">[EMAIL PROTECTED]</a>, infrared
extended cable prototype feedback, software, encapsulated port
element technician development logistically <a
href="mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]">[EMAIL PROTECTED]
com</a>.

Subject: [jQuery] Create link around email anywhere on page?
My company has some poorly written legacy code that outputs email
fields to the page. Problem is that the email field variable named
is itself variable. We don't know in advance that any specific
field contains an email or not.
So what I'd like to do is after the page is rendered, parse through
the page and make a mailto link out of any string which contains an
@ symbol.
Does anyone have something like this already, or might have
suggestions as to where to start with writing it myself?
