[Docutils-users] escaping email addresses

[Vicki B. <vl...@ir...>]

As I interpret this:

     A backslash followed by any character (except whitespace 
characters) escapes that character. The escaped character represents 
the character itself, and is prevented from playing a role in any 
markup interpretation.
...

in combination with this:

     Two forms of URI are recognized:
     ...
        2.  Standalone email addresses, which are treated as if they were
        absolute URIs with a "mailto:" scheme. Example:

             so...@so...


Shouldn't vlb\@ironport.com therefore _not_ be converted into a mailto?
