Hi,

i tried to embed a mailto URL according to RFC 2368 in an email. When
pressing return on the mailto URL Gnus composes a new empty mail.

When using <mailto:foo@bar.de> it works perfect. Now i tried to embed
a name, but i cannot figure out the correct syntax.

<mailto:"Foo%20Bar"%20foo@bar.de>
<mailto:"Foo%20Bar"%20<foo@bar.de>>

In both cases the final ">" is taken over in the "From:"-line of the
newly composed mail.

I am not sure whether the error is in my mailto URL or in Gnus. Any
idea?

Beste Grüße,
cu, -cc-

    > <mailto:"Foo%20Bar"%20foo@bar.de>
    > <mailto:"Foo%20Bar"%20<foo@bar.de>>

the following works: mailto:"Foo%20Bar"%20<foo@bar.de>

Angle brackets (and also ") are not allowed within an URI, see RFC 2396,
Section 2.4.3.
