Mailto.py

From MythTV

The correct title of this article is mailto.py. It appears incorrectly here due to technical restrictions.

This is a pywikipedia script, developed to support maintenance of this site.

Several user pages have email links on them. Mediawiki supports the mailto: type designator. However, many of the entries, due to MoinMoin's style, have spaces in them. This script cleans up the mail links, and make them operable again.
