Problem you are trying to solve

Plain text emails are converted to html by K9.
URLs in those mails are already being wrapped into links.
Mailaddresses should be wrapped into links as well.

Suggested solution

examples:
Am 08.02.18, 11:25 schrieb "someone" <abc@xyz.de>:
I will email abc@xyz.de later.

It would be nice if both of these whould be wrapped as <a href="mailto:abc@xyz.de">abc@xyz.de</a>

Research direction

The issue names no file, test, or entry point. Start by locating the plain-text-to-HTML mail rendering path and its existing URL-linkification behavior; done means addresses in both examples render as mailto links without breaking surrounding text.
