hmmm, I did that but no luck, I understand the concept from perl, but I
can't seem to tranlate it to working PHP code
i.e -
return preg_replace('/(?<!mailto)([_\\.0-9a-z-]+)@([_\\.0-9a-z-]+)/i',
"<script>document.write('<a
href=\'mailto:'+'\\1'+'@'+'\\2'+'\'>'+'\\1'+'@'+'\\2'+'</a>');</script>",$st
ring );

chokes.
