External Links is a small module used to differentiate between internal and external links. It will find all external links on a page and add an external icon indicating it will take you offsite or a mail icon for mailto: links.

Configuration options:

  • Apply icons to either mailto: or external links or both.
  • Configure external links to open in a new window.
  • A confirmation message when leaving the site.
  • Regular expression inclusion and exclusion of links considered external.
  • CSS selector inclusion and exclusion of elements for processing

You may also take a look at MailtoUI , Mailgo , which can add mailto functionality.
