I think there's some confusion as well. One with what the user sees
vs the actual source. This has come up before and in all instances,
we're able to show that the actual message source or the web pages
source have the hex codes for the spaces. It's just that the
interpreter leaves out the space in the output.

You ask the question. How is TB! to know when the mail-to link
ends???

You can't compare an incorrectly formatted mailto link embedded in
text to an incorrectly formatted url or other link put in a browsers
address field. The browser can safely assume that all characters
entered in the address field, makes up the URL. So if there's a
space, it will automatically insert the %20 characters.

Unless you develop a system where URL's are entered in a special
field, there's no room for accepting incorrect formatting and
assuming characters mean something else.
