ffap (at mail address) + partial-completion-mode

[Klaus Zeitler]

Symptoms:

Minibuffer completion misbehaves when cursor is over an email address and
ffap and partial-completion-mode are used.

Here's a recipe:

1. start emacs -Q --no-site-file
2. M-x ffap-bindings
3. M-x partial-completion-mode
4. in scratch buffer write an email address e.g. "address@hidden"
5. with cursor somewhere over this address, enter C-x C-f to load a file
6. in minibuffer wipe out the default (mailto:address@hidden), e.q. C-a C-k
7. enter the first character of an existing file in home directory (e.g. x.sh)
   and then press SPC e.g. "~/x"<SPC>

This will be completed to "x.~/x"
