Using HttpServletResponse.sendRedirect() with a mailto loses the 'to' information

           Summary: Using HttpServletResponse.sendRedirect() with a mailto
                    loses the 'to' information
           Product: Tomcat 4
           Version: 4.1.18
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: Servlet & JSP API
        AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
        ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED]


>From a servlet, in doGet - redirect the response like so:
  public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res) {
    //lot of stuff snipped
     res.sendRedirect("mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]") ;
    //...
  } 

The browser gets "mailto:?subject=test";.  Notice the 'to' address is missing.
Happens without parameters (?subject...) as well, will just get "mailto:"; in 
the browser.

This is not a browser issue, happens with multiple browsers:
- IE 5.5, 6 on Windows 2000:  A blank browser window results with "mailto:"; in 
the address bar, an email message composer pops up with nothing in the "to" 
field.
- Konqueror 3.0.5a Using KDE 3.0.5a on Linux:  browser returns the 
message "Access denied to mailto:?subject=test";

Tomcat is running on Linux (RH7.1)
