Description

[Ronan Waide]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2) Gecko/20021203
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2) Gecko/20021203

I don't use Mozilla mail, so I tend to copy mailto: links to my regular mailer.
On the quoted page, I notice that the copied email address is user%40domain.com
- the %40 is not converted to "@".

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Visit example line
2. Right click on first email address on page, and select Copy Email Address
3. Paste anywhere you like

Actual Results:  
you get martin.gadbois%40colubris.com

Expected Results:  
Mozilla should unescape the address before copying it to the
clipboard/selection: [e-mail]
