Convert static email addresses to mailto links

This is how to use jQuery to automatically convert all email addesses from static text into a mailto link.
In this example we are looking for all emails in the .email_list class.

Usage:

var regEx = /(\w+([-+.']\w+)*@\w+([-.]\w+)*\.\w+([-.]\w+)*)/;
$(".email_list").filter(function() {
	return $(this).html().match(regEx);
}).each(function() {
	$(this).html($(this).html().replace(regEx, "<a href=\"mailto:$1\">$1</a>"));
});
