Summary
Internet Explorer automatically generates mailTo hyperlinks that might fail the RM XHTML server validation process.
More Information
When you edit rich text in Internet Explorer version 8 or 9, if you type a string that includes the At sign (@), the browser might automatically turn the string into a mailTo: hyperlink. Later, if you try to save the artifact, the server XHTML validation might fail because of the hyperlink. If the validation fails, the artifact is not saved and this message is displayed:
The artifact cannot be saved.
ID CRRRW7346E The artifact content is not valid RM XHTML.
cvc-attribute.3: The value 'mailto:test@one%two' of attribute 'href' on element 'a' is not valid with respect to its type, 'URI'.
Workaround
Place the cursor in the automatically created hyperlink, right-click, and select Remove Link.
