      Not sure if it was intentionally done this way or not, but sidebar mailto: links do not appear to work for me.

      When I enter

      mailto:user@company.com

      in the "Link URL" text box, the link appears to be interpreted as a relative link and is rendered as

      http://hudsonserver.company.com/hudson/mailto:user@company.com

      in the actual link in the sidebar.

      Super awesome bonus points awarded for implementing mailto: links in a robot-unfriendly way. One possible way might be to obfuscate mailto: address and store it into a javascript variable or array and deobfuscate with Javascript function when link is clicked so that the email addresses cannot be scraped by a robot for public-facing sites. There are probably many other ways to approach this. I don't particularly need this functionality since my Hudson instance is internally facing only, but I thought it might be a "nice to have" for others.

      Thanks for a great plugin!
