 * Good morning,
    the plugin works very fine. As shortcode in member-page, I use
 * [author avatars show_name=true show_email=true user_link=false]
 * Is it possible, instead show the full email-address, show only a link, with which
   users can send a message to each other registered user?
    What I have to change?
 * kind regards
    herby55

 * Thats sounds like an idea
 * when I first read this I thought you wanted to just change the link text and 
   I looked into the code and found I would need to add a filter which I will add
 * But it sound like you wish to create a popup form that does the send using user
   id and exposing the email address
 * there is a filter “aa_user_display_extra” that passes you a string and the user
   object that looks like you could use to add the forms you need to each avatar
 * You would need to create some code to handle the form submit etc. so there is
   a bit of coding needed
 * I hope this points you in the right direction and do post any code you create
   for others to use
 * Paul
