The email app doesn't handle links containing german accent characters (ä, ö, ü) correctly.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. send an email to yourself containing a link like https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Müller
  2. open this mail in the email app
  3. the active, underlined link only contains https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/M, the last part ("üller") is not part of the link

I think this is a bug. Of course it can be worked around by using URL encoding like in https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%BCller. But clear text links should work as well and they do in every email program I've checked.

I suppose there will be more characters breaking links.
