Why won't this URL work in Safari?

Question

This works in Chrome and Firefox and IE, but not Safari on OSX. Any way to get around it?

"There is no application set to open the URL username:[email protected]."

http://username:[email protected]

Answer 1

You want http://username:[email protected] instead. http:// goes first.
