Summary: winebrowser adds preceding slashes to 'mailto:' URLs
Product: Wine
Version: 1.1.4
Platform: PC
OS/Version: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: urlmon
AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org

Hello,
Stop me if I'm wrong, but winebrowser is in charge of handling calls to the
http, https and mailto protocols in Windows applications running inside Wine -
including, say, calls in VBA such as 'ActiveWorkbook.FollowHyperlink Address:='
If you pass an http resource there, Wine will defer the call to the system's
default browser (say, Firefox). No problem here.
If you pass a mailto resource there, Wine will defer the call to the system's
default mail client (say, Kmail). That's where things get ugly: the mail
address gets preceded by one or more '/' - and of course, sending the e-mail
will fail.
A very simple example would be typing in a terminal:
winebrowser "mailto:test at thing.com"
or
winebrowser mailto:test at thing.com
both open a Kmail/Thunderbird/whatever 'New message' window, with target
address being '/test at thing.com' - notice the extra '/'.
My guess: winebrowser is being a bit too enthusiastic in encoding/escaping
mailto URLs.
tested under Wine 1.1.4, 1.1.6 and 1.1.9.
