Subject: [jQuery] Simple Plugin for jQuery



I am trying to get a handle on creating a jQuery plugin.  I have a
function that I wrote a couple of years ago that returns a formatted
email address.  I want to turn that function into a jQuery plugin.

Here is my function:
[code]
function makemailto(email,subject,text)
{
   // Makes a nice mailto link

   var returnval;

   returnval = '<a href="mailto:' + email +
               '?">' + email + '</a>';

   if (subject && text)
   {
       returnval = '<a href="mailto:' + email +
                   '?subject=' + subject +
                   '&">' + text + '</a>';
   }
   else if (subject)
   {
      returnval = '<a href="mailto:' + email +
                   '?subject=' + subject +
                   '&">' + email + '</a>';
   }
   else if (text)
   {
        returnval = '<a href="mailto:' + email +
               '?">' + text + '</a>';
   }

   return(returnval);
}
[/code]

I cannot seem to figure out how to create a simple plugin that I can
call like this:

$.makemailto('some...@somewhere.com','Subject Here');

Any advice?
Thanks,
