Does this still work since the Rapportive plugin was shut down a couple weeks ago?<p>Edit: why the downvotes? The Rapportive plugin was shut down and this gem uses it.

This is not the first post I&#x27;ve seen about this sort of email mining, and certainly see its value (though I&#x27;ve seen some pretty distasteful &quot;look and my business hack! blogposts in the past of the subject).<p>I wonder at what point this will become so rampant that some sort of pushback happens. If there is pushback, I wonder in what form it will happen and what recourse people have.<p>Regardless, thanks for sharing!

This is very close to the Python Rapportive API library I have out on github: <a href="http://github.com/jordan-wright/rapportive" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;jordan-wright&#x2F;rapportive</a>.

It looks like you&#x27;re missing the middle initial, which a lot of businesses use and also easy to permutate through only 26 letters.

Love the concept! I will be using this for sure.
