External Links is a small module used to differentiate between internal and external links. Using jQuery, it will find all external links on a page and add a small icon indicating it will take you offsite. You may optionally make all external links open in a new window.

This module is really useful to me in keeping consistency in which links open in new tabs/windows and which open in the same. And I think consistency helps users know what is going on. Also the little icons give users a heads-up when a new window or a mail link is coming up. Very easy to use, very handy.
This is a very handy and useful module that when activated and configured automatically detects external links (e-mail links as well) and puts an icon to indicate that it is an external link. On configuration it opens all external links in a new window which is great as the visitor reading that particular writeup does not have to leave the page to view something linked and related to the write up.
Just a reference I'm currently having problem with my blogger account if I had a module/script like this in blogger I could open all the external links in a new window but... If you have a Drupal blog then this module will save you lots of time where you don't have to add target="_blank" in all your external links. All in all, this module is usable in a forum or a blog Drupal site to keep your visitors to your site.
