Important Bug: Clicking on Mailto links (emailing flaw)

[escosuave]

I went to. Craigslist I clicked on a sellers default email address but the gphone prased it was @gmail.com automatically instead of @craigslist.org give it a try this needs to be resolved asap

[geedup]

yea that can be annoying as hell

[escosuave]

Anyone else verify this problem?

I checked it and re checked it, it only seems to happen with craigs list. Any other mailto: links seem to be adding the right domain after the @. I dont know why, maybe because it's an anonamous e-mail? Can anyone find an e-mail off of there that isnt a "craigslist" e-mail and try it? i looked but cant.

Interesting.

Yeah I noticed it last night. I had to copy n paste "@craigslist.org" over n over again

Happens to me too, instead of one properly formatted email message, I get one that has no subject and is being sent to "sale-1234@gmail.com" and "NewFurniture@gmail.com". Or something similar

I'm calling this an android bug because the google toolbar handles these correctly and sends me over to gmail with the proper addresses in the to: field. Likewise with Outlook (when I use IE).

Is there an official bug submission process? I did/do pay for this thing, I'd like to know there's a real bug tracking process beyond google's standard "it's all beta, post in a forum and hope a dev finds it". If the discussion group for igoogle is any indicator, going that route sucks.

Also, the OP posted this before but it was closed which was lame, considering it's a real bug.

The other email links that you're clicking might be a lot less complex. Craigslist supplies the title to the email as well as the recipient address.

Edit: could it be the spaces in the mail subject that are goofing up the android mail parser? Hmmm.

Yepp, this is a problem for me too

I'm tired of complaining about this phone...

[Bratag]

Don't blame the phone. This is all craigslist fault. They use some truly retarded encryption on mailto strings which screws up androids emailer. Craigslist is a nightmare of non standard html.
