Title:
Allow mailto: links in the Links module
Area:
Journal modules
Summary:
It is not possible to add a mailto: link to the "Links" module. I would like to be able to do so.
Description:
At present, if I fill in "mailto:my@email.com" as a link target for the Links module, it gets rewritten to "http://my@email.com", which is obviously something entirely different.
I don't know whether there is a reason for not allowing email links, and thus whether it is intentional that it can't be done, or whether this is an unintended side-effect of tidying up URIs. If it's not a deliberate choice, I think that email links should be allowed.
This suggestion:
Should be implemented as-is.
