(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Chris Bitmead]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.0rc2)
Gecko/20020510
BuildID:    2002051006

I emailed myself a URL that
contains a "}" right squiggly
bracket, but the highlighting of
the link by the Mozilla mail
terminated the link before the "}".
News articles on www.bigcharts.com
have brackets in the URL.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Get a URL with a "}" in it (e.g. as a news item from www.bigcharts.com)
2.mail yourself the URL
3.Now click the link, it doesn't work.

Does *not* work for me (at least in plain text mails): URL is only highlighted
to the left of the closing bracket. (RC2 on Win2k)

does _not_ work for me.

After some corresopondence with Chris Bitmead I tested again an saw that the
link in the received email really is broken after ")". Also see att.!

Attachment: screenshot of received mail with link

You can see that the link is broken after ")".
The link has been destroyed in the sent mail created by "send page" in the
browser
