How to write password in the mailtos if your password contains '@' ?

❓ Question

For example:

mailtos://user:[e-mail]?to=<recipient email address>

the command expects ‘’@" as a separator. So how to write a password with @ in…?

@N1c093 thanks for sharing your solution. @oregonpillow ; you’re issue is very similar to #399

Basically the problem is that the @ conflicts with the Apprise URL as you’ve already observed (see here too). But you can escape it and it should work fine, or you can stick the password as an attribute at the end (already kindly suggested by @N1c093 )

So for example; the escaped way (assuming a password of myp@assword as an example):

• mailtos://user:myp%40ssword@hostname

Or just defining the password as a arg (no escaping necessary for this route):

• mailtos://user:_@hostname?pass=myp@ssword

Give either suggestion a try and let me know if you still have any questions! 👍
