Am I missing something, or did version 10 remove the auto-formatting
for the HTML tag mailto:? I loved being able to highlight an email
address in the code and with two clicks add the properly formatted
mailto: link. I used this smart function frequently and can't believe
it's gone!

Any ideas?

Searching this list for mailto: is pointless (it seems to pull up
every single message) and there's nothing in the manual, either.

Loss of this functionality is enough to make me consider downgrading
to v.9, which I really don't want to do.

Search the archives for "anchor tags in v. 10 very inconvenient" and look for the 10.0.2 pre-releases.

Yes, I missed it too, but it's back in 10.0.2...see here:

That is because that occurs in the 4 List-* Headers. Try restricting
your search to Body (and possibly Subject).
