Review request for kdelibs and David Faure.


Repository: kdelibs


Description
-------

KUrl::prettyUrl() rewrites mailto: URLs als mailto:// if the "path" is empty.
MUAs don't handle mailto:// URLs correctly.

mailto:test at example.com
and
mailto:?to=test at example.com
are both valid and semantically equivalent.

KUrl::prettyUrl() converts the latter one to mailto://?to=test@example.com

This works fine:
kde-open mailto:test at example.com

but this fails:
kde-open mailto:?to=test at example.com

For example with Thunderbird it creates a mail with:
To: //
To: test at example.com

The mailto:// behavior was introduced with http://quickgit.kde.org/?p=kdelibs.git&a=commit&h=c67bfaf855e2345fd08951172e5fb32b38804fa5

The proposed change special cases mailto so it always uses mailto: instead of mailto://.
