mailto: link with multiple emails (and potentially a subject) isn't handled correctly

[DanielYang59]

It looks mailto: link with multiple emails (and potentially a subject) might not have been handled correctly,

The links has the following format (I removed the real email addresses for privacy concerns, but if there emails addresses are necessary to recreate this you could check here, it's public):

mailto:user_a@address,[email protected],[email protected]?subject=someSubjectOfTheEmail

And I got the following error:

[✖] mailto:user_a@address,[email protected],[email protected]?subject=someSubjectOfTheEmail → Status: 400

I'm not sure if this is an isemail issue though, but I noticed it's no longer maintained:

• See README refers to isemail - no longer involved #371

Hi Mike,

Thanks for letting me know. I don't know much about the internal working of markdown-link-check so not sure if I should propagate the issue to actual worker (isemail or node-email-verifier or whatever)

I'm not familiar with this in-depth, but It's probably an enhancement request for this repo. You can check yourself about the functionality of node-email-verifier, which looks like it only deals with a single e-mail address and not a complete mailto: link with multiple addresses and a subject field.

the code of the email check is here https://github.com/tcort/link-check/blob/3263c3b65917375c209928ca2b1ad4102824da36/lib/proto/mailto.js#L8. It only checks the text between the mailto: and the ? character as a single email. It should try to split the string using the comma separator and loop on each single email found
