Adding Mailto in Markdown element on Sharepoint site

Question

I'm trying to add a mailto link to my Sharepoint site. I know the syntax, but somehow it adds a slash to the email-address.

[Click here to open a template email](mailto:abc@xyz.com?Subject=Subject%20Text&Body=Thank%20you)

This results in the following:

Any idea how I can stop the slash from being added?

That is bizarre, I could replicate the same issue.

As a workaround, I've discovered, that you can add two slashes after mailto: it seems to solve the problem

As of Oct 21, 2021, this workaround does not work: it just adds two slashes to the email address in the mail client. :-( – Dave Mulligan Oct 21 '21 at 23:43
@DaveMulligan. That's awful. But at least on my tenant it's still works. I just checked it. – Denis Molodtsov Oct 22 '21 at 15:33
