Description
SpamSpan filter will only work properly if the mailto URL has no parameters.
For example, this will work:
<a href="mailto:name@example.com">name@example.com</a>
This will fail in a very ugly way:
<a href="mailto:name@example.com?subject=foo&cc=bar@example.com">name@example.com</a>
I can understand that it might be a bear to get the regex to work for the more complex URL, but it would be great if you could document the behavior so people don't have to install the filter and find out it doesn't work when users start complaining.

This patch adds following line to the Readme file [1] under the Heading "Bugs":
* SpamSpan filter will only work properly if the mailto URL has no parameters.

Maybe the documentation should be moved over to http://drupal.org/node/206787 or http://drupal.org/node/255599 .
