Invisible mailto: in org mode email links?

Question

Out of the box in Emacs Org Mode, an email address [email protected] is not linked.

mailto:[email protected] is a working link but is ugly.

[[mailto:[email protected]][[email protected]]] is an invisible mailto link because it shows only [email protected] but works like a normal mailto link.

How can I make all email addresses invisible mailto links?

Answer 1

To accomplish that automatically, you'd need to mess with the regexp matching inside of org.el. Specifically, looking quickly, it looks like you need to modify at least the org-make-link-regexps function. But out of the box, org-mode won't do this without some coding help.
