 Hi @stevesterndatacom,

 First, my apologies that it took so long for this ticket to receive a
 response!

 Since this ticket was opened, a lot has changed. Most notably, the
 introduction of the new block editor. The Classic Editor experience (which
 is what this ticket refers to) is no longer receiving enhancements, and
 high priority bug fixes only. Because there does not seem to be any other
 reports for this issue, I am going to close this ticket out.

 I have documented this reported behavior
 [https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/12507#issuecomment-498316019
 on an issue in the Gutenberg repository]. It appears that the block editor
 does not currently detect an email in the text when highlighting and
 clicking link, and this bug does exist when entering an email into the
 link field and not including `mailto:` as a prefix.
