Description Jaromir Smrcek 2008-08-08 08:11:24 UTC

Version:           1.9.9 (using 3.5.9, Gentoo)
Compiler:          Target: i686-pc-linux-gnu
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.22-gentoo-r2

Kmail does not highlight certain links properly (possibly bad regexp), RFC 1738 specifies, that also "[" and "]" are part of the URL specification, but when mantis (bugtracking system) sends me an email wit these characters, higlighting ands just before "[".

Comment 1 Ruchir Brahmbhatt 2009-04-09 14:39:09 UTC

rfc 1738 is obsolete according to wikipedia. I can reproduce but not sure if this square brackets valid or not in URL.

Comment 2 Jaromir Smrcek 2009-04-09 14:50:20 UTC

Well I don't really care about RFC, but the Mantis development system (http://www.mantisbt.org/) uses such URLs, so they are used in the real world, thus needed to be readable by kmail for me...

I found one url in bugzilla itself. J

How does it look in your kmail? I see whole hyperlink without any break.

Comment 4 Jaromir Smrcek 2009-04-10 14:12:57 UTC

In my kmail (1.9.9. using kde 3.5.9 from Gentoo stable x86) it is broken, the hyperlink ends just before the first '['.

Comment 5 Ruchir Brahmbhatt 2009-04-10 18:27:07 UTC

I get full URL on kmail 1.11.2.
