Adding a Direct Message (or set of Team Emails) using+ and entering email(s)

Sometimes we need to create a conversation between two or more people. Often, you can just cut and paste the email and click enter. The contact will then be added to the list of email(s) you wish to connect with (to intiate a discussion). This is the same for a direct message or group or team.


The issue:

Often a cut and paste will include mailto:abc@company.com.
RC App will hate the "mailto:" prefix and consider it a bad email. Is it possible to simply trim/ignore the prefix automatically upon validation?
