 A link like \[this](mailto:foo@bar.org) will not be converted correctly to a mailto link in the rss/atom feeds, but an absolute link instead. See e.g. the logitech post on http://madduck.net/blog/feeds/planet-lca2008/index.rss

+This still happens for auto-generated mailto: links that are [garbled](http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/syntax#autolink) by Markdown, so that
+

+is turned into
+
+    <a href="m&#97;&#105;&#x6C;t&#111;:&#109;&#x61;&#116;&#x74;&#x68;&#105;a&#x73;&#64;&#x72;&#x61;&#109;&#x70;&#x6B;&#101;&#46;&#100;&#x65;">&#109;&#x61;&#116;&#x74;&#x68;&#105;a&#x73;&#64;&#x72;&#x61;&#109;&#x70;&#x6B;&#101;&#46;&#100;&#x65;</a>
