Summary: The "todo" text for skipped "mailto:" links looks
confusing in the summary table
Product: LinkChecker
Version: 4.81
Platform: All
OS/Version: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: checklink
AssignedTo: ville.skytta@iki.fi
ReportedBy: naesten@gmail.com
QAContact: www-validator-cvs@w3.org
The online validation report for <http://dev.w3.org/csswg/css3-writing-modes>
starts with a table containing the following entry:
> ┌───────┬─────────────┬────────────────────────────────────────┐
> │ Code │ Occurrences │ What to do │
> ├───────┼─────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────┤
> │ (N/A) │ 5 │ Accessing links with this URI scheme │
> │ │ │ has been disabled in link checker. │
> ├───────┼─────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────┤
But, it turns out that all of the links in question are "mailto:" links, which
aren't so much disabled as they are *impossible* to check automatically (though
it *would* be possible to check that the domains have MX records).
It seems like a more specific message would be a lot less confusing. Something
along the lines of 'Automatic checking of "mailto:" links is generally
impossible.', perhaps?
