    A plugin? All that’s needed is a little CSS modding, via the edit theme control panel in 1.5. You can even add a logo for e-mail.

    /* link hack */

    #content a[href^="mailto:"] {

    background: transparent url('/images/email.gif') 100% 50% no-repeat;

    padding-right: 10px;

    }

    #content a[href^="http:"], #content a[href^="http:"] {

    background: transparent url('/images/external.gif') 100% 50% no-repeat;

    padding-right: 10px;

    white-space: nowrap;

    }

    #content a[href^="http://www.your-own-url.com"],

    #content a[href^="http://your-own-url.com"] {

    background: inherit;

    padding-right: 0px;

    }

    That’s loosely based on the code from web-graphics.com, and it works fine on any application I’ve used it for.
