Description spamme 2017-10-30 16:09:49 UTC 
In HTML emails KMail escapes ampersands, i.e., replaces them with "&amp;" in link URLs and breaks these links.

For instance:

 <a href="mailto:abc@domain.com?subject=Email&body=ABC123">Send email</a>

becomes

 <a href="mailto:abc@domain.com?subject=Email&amp;body=ABC123">Send email</a>

In this particular case clicking on the link will create a new email with subject "Email", but the body will not contain "ABC123" as it should.

Problem occurs both in Debian 9 stable (stretch) and in Arch Linux using 5.6.2.
