Description Moviuro 2014-10-24 07:55:52 UTC 
Konsole usually creates mailto: links out of what is believed to be a mail address. However, it doesn't recognize addresses with a '+' in it, e.g. moviuro+kde@provider.net

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. echo 'moviuro+kde@provider.net'
2. Ctrl+click the echo-ed address

Actual Results:  
Opens mail composer for kde@provider.net

Expected Results:  
Opens mail composer for moviuro+kde@provider.net

Matching emails can be extremely complicated. Is it really out of the question to use the real regex? (http://ex-parrot.com/~pdw/Mail-RFC822-Address.html)
This would also prevent systemd services files to be seen as email addresses. (Filing an other bug for this)

I don't know if you are joking or not, but Konsole is not likely to use that huge regex.  I do think + is common enough to add.
