Perhaps not a bug, but certainly peculiar. None of the other email headers that have email addresses in them include a mailto: prefix (to, from, reply-to, in-reply-to, envelope-to, return-path, x-mail-from, numerous received-from headers), only the list-mail identifying additions to the headers. Yet it doesn't appear in the message boilerplate showing in the footer (at the bottom of this message, once it goes through the list server, you'll find: users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org added to the bottom, sans mailto:). You could argue that it *ought* to be present in all of the mail headers (though it's mostly redundant, since there's a header name before the data - to, from, etc.), though it could be useful to something else as the prefix for the message-id, that stops it being misidentified as an email address. The mailto: prefix is something I'm used to seeing in HTML webpages, where *you* are going to click on a rendered link, rather than playing copy and paste with the source. So, thankfully, I'd know to delete it when finding it before an address. I'm not so sure about others, particularly the casual user who subscribed to fix a fault, then cannot figure out how to un-subscribe, and eventually mails the list asking how to stop being spammed (their words). -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 3.9.10-100.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Sun Jul 14 01:31:27 UTC 2013 x86_64 Boilerplate: All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted, there is no point trying to privately email me, I only get to see the messages posted to the mailing list.
