Hotmail javascript link fixer

Changes javascript links in hotmail messages into normal links. Also enables middle-clicking on links etc.

Links in messages in hotmail inboxes are shown as javascript links, which doesn't allow links to be opened in the same way as normal links, which hinders my tabbed browsing. This script simply changes the links into normal links.

I also recommend my other hotmail script, Hotmail AutoCheck.

UPDATE (12-March-2007): I found a bug with my script, which was basically hacked together in the first place. It made some other links on the page not work. It's now fixed; basically part of the if condition has been changed from "javascript:" to "javascript:ol".

UPDATE (15-March-2007): Middle clicking to open links in new windows didn't work. Now it does. New line added at the top.

UPDATE (25-March-2007): Minor change to the code. No change in functionality. Possible fractional increase in speed.

UPDATE (16-July-2007): Minor change to fix issue with eBay links. Thanks to Rammy M.

I have a problem with ebay links, so I added (to my copy) the line:
jsUrl = jsUrl.replace(/%26amp;/gi, "&").replace(/%3d/gi, "=")
