    Changing your address in your sigfile to the form
    mailto:yourname@youraddress.com does the trick. I don't know if it works
    when embedded in the text of a sentence or if it has to be at the start of
    a line stand-alone like
    mailto:yourname@youraddress.com

    If the either of these examples is highlighted or colored in your mail
    reading program, you can then double click on the highlighted or colored
    text to initiate an e-mail to that address. I would think this would be
    particularly useful to those who get digests.

    Hey, glad to know that two degrees in communication are paying off. ;]
