According to this http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc6068.txt / should be %-encoded in mailto 'address-part'. .Net will happily take:

new System.Uri("mailto:DFOTechn/DD-DWA/IND@ADW-NGP");

But it is all considered as part of the host.

encoding the '/' characters gives:

new System.Uri("mailto:DFO%20ABNS%20Techn%2FDD-DWA%2FIND@ADW-NGP")

Which .Net correctly parses with ADW-NGP as the host.
