Hi Kim, That phrase tells you there is some kind of link you can click. For a mail address, it opens a new compose message containing the actual address in the "To" field. For a date or time, it opens an event in your iCal calender etc. etc. Personally, I would prefer the name "link" for this type of data, since it would not disturb your reading as much as the current phrase, and the action that takes place would be just as logical.
