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](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/pull/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`?
