this indeed addresses the issue I was having.

thank you very much for your response.

`org-link-escape' is for internal links, not for general URL-encoding.
You may want to use `url-encode-url' instead.

[O] bug report: + is not escaped in org-link-escape

[dmg]

hi everybody,

I am running 9.0.10.

org-link-escape only replaces space, [, ], and %

but search in google/gmail is replacing + also.

The simplest solution is to add 43 to org-link-escape-chars:

   org-link-escape-chars is a variable defined in ‘org.el’.
   Its value is (32 91 93 37)

  This variable may be risky if used as a file-local variable.


I use org-link-escape to jump from an email in gnus to gmail by searching
the message-id. But if when the message-id contains +, this character
must be escaped.

thank you,
