Well, yes, interesting. But in the context of email including a '.' at the end of an email address at the end of the address in mailto: does NOT work. RFC 2821 (SMTP) does not seem to address this issue. In practice, it seems that most email servers will not accept the trailing '.' and messages including it in the recipient address get bounced.
I'm using MARKMIN to format the body of emails sent to an application maintained mailing list. These notices often contain or end with something along the lines of "For more information, please contact [email protected]. Its natural to end the sentence that way and tough to remember not to do so. So I'm leaving my app with the modified code!
