Link to Bring up email

I have a column on a report listing a contact. I want to click on the
contact and bring up my email program. I entered ="mailto:" & email variable
in the Jump to URL field. I get an error Invalid URI: the hostname could not
be parsed. Although it does work if I hard code the address like
=mailto:me@.microsoft.com
Thank you for any help.i tried to repro it..but couldnt replicate it.
i created a parameter as email id..it works fine.
can u specify the repro steps?

email address (email). The report displays the contact name and the
navigation is assigned a Jump to URL field as
="mailto:" & email
I get the message Invalid URI: the hostname could not be parsed.
If I assign the Jump to URL Field with a hardcoded email address it works
fine
=mailto:me@.microsoft.com
thank you
