349531 - url with parenthesis are not understood correctly in plain text

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 133016

(Thunderbird :: Mail Window Front End, defect)

Description

[Loïck Magnin]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.6) Gecko/20060728 Firefox/1.5.0.6 (Debian-1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.6-1)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.0.6) Gecko/20060728 Firefox/1.5.0.6 (Debian-1.5.dfsg+1.5.0.6-1)

only the part before ) is understood as being the url

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Receive an email with an url that contains parenthesis "(" first, and then ")" like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2000_(number)

Actual Results:  
the last parenthesis is not understood as a part of the link.

Expected Results:  
If there is an opening parenthesis in an url, then the closing one should be in the url too.

I think that there is more url with two parenthesis than with one single opening one, so only the texts as:
" you can go to that page (http://www.example.com/abcde(fgh) " should create a mistake.
