Unable to post email address

bug
1

It’s not possible to post an email address anymore. The following produces an Error 500:

  • [foo@example.com](http://foo@example.com)
  • [email]bar@example.com[/email]

This seems to be related to PR 4138.

parsed.path seems to be nil for email addresses. Does it even make sense to parse URIs with a scheme other than http and https?

I think @eviltrout fixed some bugs there recently … not sure.
