im getting a 404 crawl error for mailto:[email protected], in google webmaster tools under the health > crawl errors

surly google should see that mailto: is related to an email not a webpage..

the html im using for the mailto on my page is <a href="mailto:mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a>

Whats the best way to resolve this ? Is mailto still widely used or is there a newer alternative ?
