Suppose you wrote an article and in the footnotes gave your mail ID for further correspondence. In this case, if someone wants to send a mail they have to input an additional effort in copying your e-mail address from your blog and then pasting it in the “To” section of the mail.

So, is there any workaround? Yes, there is and is quite an old yet efficient way of dealing with such matters. Most probably you might be knowing this trick, but surprisingly there are still some who have no clue whatsoever.
