re module question

I have been playing around with the regex module (re) and have figured out
how to locate a pattern once.  My question is how do I do it more than once.

For example (where tststring is my test input string):

   patt = re.compile("mailto:(.*)\">.*",re.I)

  match = patt.search(tststring)
  if match:
     email = match.group(1)

I can locate the first instance of mailto: . . . but what if I have a
document with more than once instance of the match.  How do I pick them out?
