When the corresponding options are set, Crescat will detect URLs and email addresses in the terminal window, and apply a distinctive background highlight to them:

Clicking on a highlighted URL will open it in the application you have chosen to handle that kind of URL. Typically, that means that clicking on an http: URL will open that page in Safari or Internet Explorer.

Clicking on a highlighted email address has the same effect as though you had clicked on a highlighted mailto: URL. In other words, your chosen email client will start a blank message with that address.

Also, control-clicking on a highlighted email address will cause Crecat to look just before the address for words, which it will assume are a proper name; the menu that pops up will offer to add that name and email address to your Mac OS X address book. The “detector” for proper names is really fairly stupid, so not all names offered will be useful; but addresses displayed in email clients like pine usually adapt well to this scheme.
