User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040911 Firefox/0.10
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20040911 Firefox/0.10

Unsafe characters must be encoded in urls, according to
http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1738.html (referenced in
http://www.w3.org/Addressing/draft-mirashi-url-irc-01.txt )

A url with capital letters will fail, but one with lowercase letters will succeed.

e.g.
fails - irc://moznet/%5Btest%5D
succeeds - irc://moznet/%5btest%5d

using 	Chatzilla 0.9.64g [Mozilla rv:1.7.3/20040911]

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Click a url with uppercase characters used to encode unsafe characters
specifically, irc://moznet/%5Btest%5D
Actual Results:  
chatzilla opens a window.
In the "Title" area in the middle of the new window some characters are
displayed as boxes. i will represent them with the word "BOX" including quotes.

#"box"Btest"box"D
[INFO]	Channel view for “#[\0x05]Btest[\0x05]D” opened.
-->|	YOU have joined #[\0x05]BTEST[\0x05]D

(note, the backslashes and brackets do not copy and paste, so I typed them in).

Expected Results:  
#[test]
[INFO]	Channel view for “#[test]” opened.
-->|	YOU have joined #[test]

Long-standing bug, I've known about it for ages... simply needs an 'i' flag on
the RegExp on line 263 here:
