Sven,
Your question suggests a direction you plan to take in scripting this human
drudgery task.
I would not proceed with an "automate the clicking" strategy.
Better, I think, to capture the text source of the HTML page and then pull
out the mail addresses. There are already scripts available that will parse
email addresses from text blocks and so on.
