mailto links have port 25 appended to them

Vote:
 

We are using v12.  We have been noticing that mailto links that are entered into Url fields are being returned with backslashes and port 25  in the Content API Json. eg: 

mailto:this@that.com becomes mailto://this@that.com:25

We'd like to remove the port from being returned in the json, as when you click this link, the email address used is this@that.com:25 ... which is not a valid email address.

I've seen a few other posts about this issue.

The reply from Opti support is that this is a known bug.  https://world.optimizely.com/support/Bug-list/Bug/?bugId=CMS-24930 

They suggest that we remove the port in the Front End if we don't want to wait for the fix.
