When you "Copy Email Address" (in contextual menu after right-click) a mailto:
link with a so-called urlencoded address, as in name%40example.com, the address
stays undecoded in the clipboard.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
See demo provided with the bug URL.
Actual Results:  
name%40example.com is in the clipboard.

Expected Results:  
name@example.com should instead be in the clipboard.

When you MouseOver such links, the correct decoded address appears in the status
bar. Also correctly decoded when you click it, and address inserted in the To:
field of a new message with your email client.
Fixed on trunk.
