Email todo address needs escaping
cmoewes says:
I am using the gmail notifier to allow firefox to use gmail for mailto links. The problem that is occuring is that when you click on the mailto link on the INFO page, the "+" is a reserved character in URL space and is translated as a space when it is converted into a URL. The "+" needs to be escaped as "%2B" so it reads as follows:
href="mailto:USERID%2BSECRETNUM@rmilk.com"
instead of
href="mailto:USERID+SECRETNUM@rmilk.com"
This change works for both FIrefox (with gmail as mailto handler) as well as thunderbird.
href="mailto:USERID%2BSECRETNUM@rmilk.com"
instead of
href="mailto:USERID+SECRETNUM@rmilk.com"

Thanks for your report.
Unfortunately it looks like the Gmail notifier isn't properly escaping the + sign. Perhaps you could try contacting Google and asking them to fix this?
We can't escape it on our end because copying and pasting the mailto link with some browsers results in it literally copying the %2B, while other browsers transform it to the + sign.
