It seems that hrefs beginning with mailto:, tel:, and data: are flagged as broken, but only in documents from subdirectories.
./index.html
<a href="mailto:foo@email.com">Email me</a>
<a href="tel:+1-1234-1234">telephone</a>
<a href="data:text/plain;base64,SGVsbG8sIFdvcmxkIQ==">hello world</a>
<a href="/badlink">regular bad link</a>./subdir/index.html
same content as ./index.html
Hyperlink reports /badlink broken in both files, as expected. But the subdir/index.html also reports the mailto:, tel:, and data: links as broken.
$ hyperlink .
Reading files
Checking 5 links from 2 files (2 documents)
./index.html

./subdir/index.html

error: bad link /subdir/data:text/plain;base64,SGVsbG8sIFdvcmxkIQ==

Edit: also fax: and modem: from https://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2806

Btw, I'm happy to try putting together a PR to fix this if you like.

are you sure that this is broken in master? I am fairly certain it works fine there.
