Mailto links doesn't allow special characters.

XMLWordPrintable

      Problem:

      When we use Mailto, in the link section(e.g insert > links), if your body message have brackets, it'll render your link unusable.

      Steps to reproduce:

      1. Add a page.
      2. Select an blank page.
      3. Click in Link, then Web Link.
      4. Type, for example, 
        mailto:testmail@testmail.com?subject=testing \[this message is just a test\]

        In the link text field, type: test.

      5. Then, click insert, save the page, and try to click on the link.
      6. You'll see that is broken.

      Workaround:

      Instead of using brackets, use parentheses.
