           Summary: KURL will mangle names in mailto URLs if they contain an
                    @ sign
           Product: WebKit
           Version: 525+ (Nightly build)
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: Platform
        AssignedTo: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
        ReportedBy: marv.decker at gmail.com


KURL searches for @ signs in mailto: URLs, and encodes the following text as a
host name. This works for most common mailto URLs, but will break if I have a
URL like this:

mailto:"Mom @Work" <mom at work.com>

The quotes and <> need to be escaped, so the real URL would look like this:
mailto:%22Mom%20 at Work%22%20%3Cmom at work.com%3E

This is actually handled correctly by at least some mail agents, and if "work"
contains any non-ASCII characters, they will be mangled.
