Package: urlview
Version: 0.9-16
Severity: normal
In quoted-printable messages, long lines are broken by terminating
each line at 80 characters with an equal sign ("="). urlview doesn't
recognize this escape, and so it breaks the URL at that point. Other
characters that are escaped in quoted-printable messages (such as equal
signs) will also cause URLs to be mangled beyond usability.As an example, I'll submit this message as quoted-printable and include a long URL: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/docs/6.4/html/libraries/OpenGL/Graphics.Rendering.OpenGL.GL.Texturing.Environments.html and a URL containing an equal sign: http://happypenguin.org/news?start=35 You can find the quoted-printable RFC online; it should have fairly detailed instructions on how to parse these messages.
