[Zope] why does squishdot url_quote email address values?

[Fred Yankowski]

Version 0-7-2 of Squishdot seems to use the url_quote option when
accessing the value of admin_address in particular, so when a DTML
page has code like

     <!--#var admin_address url_quote-->

and admin_address is a property with the value "foo@bar.com", the
resulting HTML code is

     foo%40bar.com

which doesn't work correctly, particularly when used as the value of a
'mailto:' URL.

So what's the solution?  Is Squishdot wrong to use url_quote this way?
Why is url_quote hiding the "@" anyway -- I don't see any reason for
escaping it this way.
