 The identification string that shows beside people's nicks when they join
 a channel {user id, ident, cloak, hostmask (sic), etc} is presented by
 gaim/pidgin in the traditional ident form of some [pseudo] username
 followed by an '@' character and some string that may be a host, may be a
 host mask, may be a reverse lookup, and may be junk.

 Regardless, the one thing that it usually is NOT is a valid email address,
 but the channel window interprets it as one and presents a mailto
 hyperlink.

 I've started to notice that these links are increasingly distracting. Is
 it technically possible to teach the channel|chat window to not parse the
 ident strings as email URIs?
