Email links' content starting with underscore will be removed

When adding a link with a mailto: address and an alternate text, where the email address starts with an underscore ("_"), the mail link is removed while saving it.  It is replaced by a "#" or a link to the page itself.


I know an underscore as first character sound weird, but all our company's mail distribution lists and some special mailboxes have this pattern - and it worked elsewhere for decades now.

Is there an option to fix or workaround this behaviour of Confluence?

Hi @holger.fausek welcome to the community.  Have you tried escaping it or wrapping it in quotes?
