How to add mailto:"" link to 142 email address at once?

I'd like to make all email address clickable. I can search for the email and 142 come up. How do I make them all clickable at once, ie assign a link with a mailto: parameter at once?

No. The simple answer is don't post email addresses on the web. Use a contact form with secure server-side script that conceals email and thwarts spam.

Ask your hosting provider if they have form-to-email scripts you can use.
Or find out which server-side scripts your hosting plan supports and create your own script. See tutorial below.
Alt-Web Design & Publishing: Responsive Contact Form with Bootstrap and PHP (Part 1)
Or use a form service like Wufoo.com.

Do a find and replace.if you have something like

blah@blah.com

Search for blah@blah.comReplace with:blah@blah.comThen use some css to style the email anchor:.mailto {text-decoration: none;color: #999;}HOWEVER if you have 142 instances of an email address in your website you are going to be getting potentailly a massive amount of unwanted spam.I rarely use an email address, prefering to use a contact form instead or at least try and encrypt the email address somehow, which you used to be able to do........I don't know now as I try to avoid using a direct email address in a website
