In WMT it is reporting broken links in my emailto code:
<a title="Mary S Smith" href="marysmith@earthlink.net?subject=abc_car_Inquiry">


WMT Error:
Under crawl errors, Show URLs: Not Found(123)

http://abc_car_company.com/tea/marysmith@earthlink.net?subject=abc_car_Inquiry


This is in a directory page I made. I like it because the person receiving it knows its not spam and that my clients site sent it.

Now originally I had the subject=abc car company"> . I thought the spaces were causing the problem so I replaced the spaces with underlines. But there are still many in WMT.

It passes the validator.

The example you posted does not include the mailto: protocol before the email address.

<a title="Mary S Smith" href="mailto:marysmith@earthlink.net?subject=abc_car_Inquiry">

There's a reason I can spot that one so easily. I've done it myself at least 20 times over the years!
