You can also choose how to interact with the data. Tap and hold a link
and then choose an option from the popover that appears ( Figure 4.9 ).

View information about senders and recipients
In its attempt to shield people from complexity, Apple chose to show
email senders and recipients as friendly named blobs instead of
addresses like “[e-mail]”. Those blobs become
useful buttons, however.
Tap any sender or recipient to view more information. If the person is not
in your list of contacts, you can easily add them by tapping the Create
New Contact button. The popover changes to let you edit contact infor-
mation ( Figure 4.10 ); tap Done to add the person to your Contacts list. Or,
tap Add to Existing Contact if this is a different address for someone you
already know.
On the other hand, tapping the button of a person already in your
address book displays all of their information. That makes it easy to tap
their address to view the location in the Maps app, for example.
