Locking for an idea to ....

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Ralf,

Create another, hidden, stack with a transparent field, slightly  
smaller than the original field to make it fit inside the original  
field. Put the e-mail address into that field, set the width to the  
formattedWidth. Export a snapshot and put the image over the original  
field, setting the width of the image to slightly less than the with  
of the original field. Put empty into the original field (or set the  
textColor to white). Write a script that hides the image and reveals  
and selects the original text after a mouseDown on the image.
