Question

Using mailto: in a double bracket syntax displays a <nop> if the link text contains a space followed by a capital letter.

Using TWiki 4.0.4, the syntax :

[[mailto:my.address@mydomain.com][mail Me]]
seems to render incorrectly as :

mail <nop>me (the mailto: link is working as expected, but a nop is displayed)

If there are no capitals, it all renders OK, e.g. the text :

[[mailto:my.address@mydomain.com][mail me]]

Renders and links OK.

The workaround is to use the old syntax :

[[mailto:my.address@mydomain.com mail Me]]

But I guess the double bracket syntax is supposed to work, so I thought you should know.
