 Running: WordPress 2.0.5 with Firefox 2.0 on Windows XP

 I used to be able to include a "mailto:" link in my sidebar. Now, every
 time I add a mailto link, WordPress converts it to a web page link
 (http://) and removes the @ character from the link. This happens when a
 mailto link is added from the Link Manager.

 So, for example, mailto:myname at gmail.com becomes http://mynamegmail.com.
 Which, of course, is useless.

 I reverted back to version 2.0 and the problem went away, which suggests
 this is a bug in the current version.
