mailto links inside a blog post don't work

Open wioux opened this issue 7 years ago • 1 comments

When blog posts are pulled from eff.org, they are processed so that relative links to other pages on eff.org still work (the link is converted to an absolute url).

A recent post contains a mailto link at the bottom which gets broken by this transformation.

I would say the RSS feed should convert relative links to absolute, rather than the feed consumer.
