Issue Summary
Adding a mailto link on a Confluence page to a Jira Service Management default email account redirects to space overview page instead of opening the local email client and populating the email address.
Steps to Reproduce
- Edit a Confluence page
- Insert a link on the page to the JSM default email
- support@<instance>.atlassian.net
- Link is converted to mailto:<email_address>
- Click Open link in a new tab from the link edit menu ** and the local email client is opened, with the email address populated in the To: field
- Publish the page
- Click the link and it directs you to the Site Homepage
- Right click the link and select Open Link in New Tab and the local email client will open and populate the To: field
Expected Results
Clicking the link should open the local email client and populate the To: field.
Actual Results
Clicking the link redirects you to the Site Homepage. It appears it is treating the link as a domain link, rather than a mailto link.
If the mailto link contains a parameter such as "?subject=Hello" or "?body=Hello", when clicked, these parameters will be added to the end of the URL of the page without redirecting the browser elsewhere.
Workaround
- Right click the link and select Open Link in New Tab and the local email client will open and populate the To: field
- Right click the link and select Copy Email Address and paste into local email client
- Unlink the email address, requiring a copy and paste into the local email client
Alternative Workaround:
Add an HTML Macro and add: (replace USER and INSTANCE with actual values)
<a href="mailto:USER@INSTANCE.atlassian.net" title="mailto:USER@INSTANCE.atlassian.net" rel="nofollow">send email to user</a>
