Description Paul Gargan 2003-04-18 16:51:52 UTC

Version:           1.4.3 (using KDE 3.0.3)
Installed from:    SuSE
Compiler:          gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (SuSE)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.10-4GB

I'm using KMail 1.4.3 on KDE 3.0.3. As per normal, strings such as http://example.com and whatever@example.com are rendered as clickable links when viewing mail. I've disabled HTML mail. 

However, HTML entities in these links, such as &pi, are rendered. http://example.com/math.pl?e=2.7182&pi=3.1412 causes the &pi sequence of characters to display a literal PI symbol. The correct URL is still invoked when such a link is clicked.
