Re^2: Post Email address as CGI Parameter

Email addresses in mailto: links do not need special characters like the @ escaped in the HTML. mailto: links that specify a subject, body, etc. do need those values escaped, see e.g. here. Email addresses in URLs do need to be escaped, one way to do that has already been shown above.

Even more specific: `mailto`'s are specified in RFC 6068 with some definitions coming from RFC 5322. Those specify the exact rules, a little complicated to summarize here, but for example the @ between the local-part and domain in the addresses shouldn't be escaped. The URI module claims to support the now obsolute `mailto` specification from RFC 2368.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
