That looks like a real bug in XWiki. The problem comes from the quotes
in the user's name: Henri-Robert "test" Sully
A quick fix is to remove the "test" part from the name, since I doubt
real users will actually have quotes in their names. But ' is quite
common in names like O'Brian, and that will still break the share page
feature.
There seem to be two XWiki bugs involved:
- The username is HTML-escaped, but in this case it shouldn't be
- The Q encoding is wrong, it doesn't escape & and #

Hi,
We have an xwiki 6.1 installation and we can't figure out the « Share page by email »
function.
It works very well for Admin users, but it doesn't work for regular users. We get an
error message saying "Error: The message could not be sent to userX : email server
error." (Or in French : Le message n'a pas pu être envoyé à UserX : Erreur du
serveur email.)
It's the same error message seen for this problem (look at the error.png attachment)
: http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XE-1451
It looks like a permission problem, but I don't where to look. The stack trace on the
other hand says that there is an illegal semicolon somewhere in the address field, which
prevents the MailSenderPlugin from sending the email. Again, only for regular users,
Admins are OK. I've intercepted the http requests with Fiddler, even look at the POST
payload and I don't see any semicolon.
View the stack trace here:

Can someone provide some insight?
Best regards,
