STR: 1) Click a link like http://teamcoco.com/content/apple-employees-can't-help-but-gloat-about-new-ipad in Adium, Colloquy, or etc. AR: 404 page. ER: Loads http://teamcoco.com/content/apple-employees-can't-help-but-gloat-about-new-ipad . Compare to clicking the link above, which works fine and doesn't get %-escaped.
Er, actually, that's broken too. But the link on the http://teamcoco.com home page works. It's possible this is a TE problem (site bug).
Blah. Never mind. This is because they used a smart apostrophe in the URL and other apps are dumb-ifying the apostrophe. So this could be a TE bug if someone really cared (they shouldn't be using anything but Least Common Denominator characters in links) but it's probably just INVALID. http://teamcoco.com/content/apple-employees-can’t-help-gloat-about-new-ipad is the actual URL of the page, and that link should work fine.
