Hex encoded mailto: tags problem



  Hi,

  I've been trying to get Mutt working as the mailer for Elinks, but
  I've got something set up wrong. The problem is that addresses in the
  mailto: URI on many mailing lists are hex-encoded, and that's what
  Mutt puts in the "To:" field.

  An example is:

  ---
  
    <A 
HREF="mailto:elinks-users%40linuxfromscratch.org?Subject=%5Belinks-users%5D%20Some%20subject&In-Reply-To=Pine.LNX.4.58.0406061016510.9927%40hdtl";
       TITLE="[elinks-users] Some subject">somebody at somewhere.com
       </A><BR>

---

  So, when I hit the link to send a reply, the "To:" header in Mutt
  appears as:

  "elinks-users%2540linuxfromscratch.org@xxxxxxxxxxxxx" (My computer
  name plus domain name).

  Also, the subject field is left blank. I've been trying to figure this
  out for a week or so, and couldn't find anything in the Mutt mailing
  list archives, except a brief reference to it in 2000. 

  I'm using Mutt 1.5.6i, CVS of 2004-02-01. Any help anybody could offer
  is greatly appreciated, and TIA!

  Regards,
  Steve
