This page (http://newsseer.com/) contains a mailto link labeled
"Feedback" which is created by JavaScript. When hovering over the
link, the URL is displayed (on the bottom line of the browser window)
as "mailto:feedback@newsseer.com?subject=NewsSeer feedback" but if I
mouse right and Copy Link Address it contains "% escaped" characters
(what are those called?) like this:
mailto:%66%65ed%62a%63%6b%40newss%65%65%72%2e%63o%6d?subject=NewsSeer%20feedback
Apparently this causes the parsing of the mailto to go awry.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. go to http://newsseer.com/
2. click on "Feedback"
Actual Results: The mail composition window that comes up looks like this:
To: feedback@newsseer.com?subject=NewsSeer
To: feedba
Subject: NewsSeer feedback
Expected Results: instead of:
To: feedback@newsseer.com
Subject: NewsSeer feedback
I hope this is not a duplicate, it seems like it might be related to:

This is not an XP apps thing... over to mailnews:networking where they do the
URI parsing.

This seems to work OK for me in 1.1 alpha. Has it been fixed?

At the risk of being redundant, it also works for me (the original whiner)
in release 1.1. I gather it just "went away" as result of changes
elsewhere? In any case, thanks for your help.
(Oddly, today when I went to http://newsseer.com/ to test this with my new
Mozilla 1.1, I found a completely unrelated problem with that page which
I just reported: http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=168062)
