Is there markdown for typing email addresses inside topics.  
If I type [adopilot@gmail.com](mailto:adopilot@gmail.com) how I can make my email look like link  
so when someone click on e mail browser try open new

We can make link like this

```
<a href="mailto:adopilot@gmail.com"> adopilot@gmail.com </a>

```

That will work [adopilot@gmail.com](mailto:adopilot@gmail.com) as should be.

But most of users would not know how to make link with mailto: property.  
It will be nice if parser can parse e mails automatically to looks like this or we can extend Hyperlink button to accept also e mails

`[my email](mailto:email@example.com)`

renders into

[my email](mailto:email@example.com)

In markdown, you should place email addresses within \<\> brackets.

Example:  
`You should email <admin@example.com> for more information.`

Becomes:

> You should email [admin@example.com](mailto:admin@example.com) for more information.
