453204 - mailto: link adds an extra double quote

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 258653

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect)

Description

[emorris]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-GB; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008070208 Firefox/3.0.1
Build Identifier: version 2.0.0.12 (20080213)

When clicking on or running a mailto: URI, the first email in the bcc parameter has a double quote (") before the at (@) symbol, resulting in the email being unsendable until it is removed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click on or type in mailto:[e-mail]?bcc=[e-mail];[e-mail]
Actual Results:  
The addresses section looks like this:
-----------------------------------------
| To: | [e-mail]              |
| Bcc:| email2"@example.com             |
| Bcc:| [e-mail]              |
-----------------------------------------

If you try to send the email, you get a #5.1.1 bad address error, since email2"@example.com is wrong.

Expected Results:  
The addresses section to look like this:
-----------------------------------------
| To: | [e-mail]              |
| Bcc:| [e-mail]              |
| Bcc:| [e-mail]              |
-----------------------------------------

and the email to send correctly.

I've confirmed this on Linux 2.0.0.17pre (build date: "not so recent").

mailto: is in the compose code... I think the error is either in nsMsgComposeService or nsMailtoUrl, but I'm not sure which. It doesn't seem to appear fixed on trunk builds (based on fixed bug lists), but I have not tested.

Addresses shouldn't be separated with semicolon- semicolon has another meaning...
