I'm inclined to say it is not a bug. If you want to write a bare URL without [url=] tag etc, you need to have some way to know where the URL ends. Supose you write "You can look at foo (http://foo/bar)." Here the ')' is *not* part of the URL. --Jeroen -- Jeroen van Wolffelaar [EMAIL PROTECTED] (also for Jabber & MSN; ICQ: 33944357) http://Jeroen.A-Eskwadraat.nl -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
