When you click on an email address, you should get something that lookslike
this (I used a url of mailto:address@hidden):


You are sending a comment to:
  address@hidden

Use Ctrl-G to cancel if you do not want to send a message

 Please enter your name, or leave it blank to remain anonymous
Personal Name: lwv

 Please enter a mail address or some other
 means to contact you, if you desire a response.
 Use Control-U to erase the default.
From: address@hidden

 Please enter a subject line.
 Use Control-U to erase the default.
Subject: mailto:address@hidden

 Enter a mail address for a CC of your message.
 Use Control-U to erase the default.
 (Leave blank if you don't want a copy.)
Cc: address@hidden

Send this comment? (y/n)


you then press y or n or ^g and you are finished.

Which part of this is confusing?
