Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-terminal

Email addresses that are lower case underline when the mouse hovers over them and the options to "Send Mail To..." and "Copy E-mail Address" appear in the context menu. If email addresses begin with a capital letter, this feature doesn't work.

Reproduction is simply:
$ echo "<email address hidden>"
