User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.1.6pre) Gecko/20091109 Ubuntu/8.04 (hardy) Shiretoko/3.5.6pre
Build Identifier: 2.0.0.23 (20090817)

When a user gets an email containing the above mailto: URL (mailto:jondoe@example.com;janesmith@example.org) and clicks on it to send a new email, the recipient addresses are garbled.

Result: undeliverable email.

When a comma is used to separate addresses all is fine.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. click on the mailto: link above
2.
3.
Actual Results:  
Email was not deliverable.

Expected Results:  
Thunderbird should accept the semikolon ; as a separator for email addresses.

RFC2368 http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2368.txt IMHO does not allow empty recipient addresses, Thunderbird should not generate them.

RFC2368 is the mailt:-URL scheme, I meant RFC2821 SMTP.
