Script for tagging email addresses

[Web Admin Himalayan Academy]

Aloha, Jim:

Brilliant, thank you.

Yes, Andre is right, one wants definitely wants href values otherwise it 
can bite you later.

repeat for each line LNN in emailAddrList
       put format ("<a href=\"& LNN &\"">" & LNN & "</a>") into LNNLinked
       replace LNN with LNNLinked in masterList

works...
