Action Performed:

1. Open the app
2. Open any report
3. Write star with email as one word and send (eg: *test@test.com)

Expected Result:

Star at the start should not be considered in the email (as it did on slack in point 3) and if we consider that as URL, it should not display 'mailto:' in the start

Actual Result:

Star is considered as part of email, on right click it does not recognize it as email (it says 'Copy URL to clipboad') but on hover, tooltip recognizes it as email (it adds mailto: in the beginning)

Workaround:

unknown

* isn't a RFC-compliant character, so wouldn't be part of an email, so agree we shouldn't "mail-to" that email:
