c# decode HTML chars in email

An array contains an email. This e-mail looks at the moment like:

testmail%40mail.de

I'm searching for an methode to get this e-mail to readable format for humans. I know everybody would be able to identify '%40' after some time, but I would need to get for example in this case '[email protected]' I found the solution to use "System.Net.WebUtility.HtmlDecode()". I use .Net4.0 but there was no readable output using the methode above (output was the same one). I hope to get an easy way to solve this.

The email address is URL encoded therefore you are required to URL decode it.

.NET has the following utilities available for you to do this:

HttpServerUtility.UrlDecode(string) or HttpUtility.UrlDecode(string)
