180397 - mailto URL not parsed correctly

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 135984

(MailNews Core :: Networking, defect)

Description

[bobj]

I clicked on a link that looked something like this
  mailto:[e-mail]?subject=Scheduling%20and%20Software%20Update

It opened a new mail compose window.  The subject correctly showed
    Scheduling and Software Update

But the To field had 2 extra characters:
    [e-mail]?s

This happens in a commercial 1.0 branch build:
  Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.0.2) Gecko/20021111
Netscape/7.01 

But the same mailto URL works fine running a Mozilla trunk build:
  Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3a) Gecko/20021111

Putting on the radar for 1.0.2...
My build is a few days old, I'll update to the latest 1.0 build and try it again.

Reproducible with today's build:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.0.2) Gecko/20021115
Netscape/7.01

This got fixed on trunk.  If we want this on branch, that patch just needs to be
checked in on branch.

Discussed in team meeting.  This is not a regression from 7.0.  Mail server
alerts user before sending - you get an error "unknown address" right away. The
mail is not sent so does not bounce.

We don't see this as a stop ship bug.  Minusing.  Not nominating for Buffy
because already fixed per the dupe of this bug.
