Comment (by kevin8t8):
After thinking about it some more, I don't think it's correct to leave the
"[]" delimiters in the ciss.host field.
The reason this was done is because mutt converts it back and forth
between a URL string, so instead the delimiters were removed inside
raw_socket_open. However there are other places in the code that use the
host field, and they shouldn't all have the responsibility of stripping
the "[]" off.
I'm attaching v2 patch that removes the delimiter inside
ciss_parse_userhost() but puts them back on inside url_ciss_tostring() if
the host name contains a ':'. This version of the patch therefor doesn't
need to touch raw_socket_open().
