From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.8) Gecko/20020205 BuildID: 20020205 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: Bugzilla Bug 125080 mailto url with raw non-ASCII subject and mail body is not working http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=125080

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?
Also WFM in 2002-08-30-05 Linux marking as such

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)
