Space should always terminate the link - but it shouldn't be the only character that does it, depending on what's in front of the link. Take a look at the following examples: foo http://čšž.ena.si/abc(de) bar <http://čšž.ena.si/abc(de)> baz ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ foo (http://čšž.ena.si/) bar [http://čšž.ena.si/abc(de)] baz ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ The ^'s mark parts of the URLs that should be clickable. Even something like (http://čšž.ena.si/abc(de)) shouldn't be too hard to get right, even if it could cause a few problems when the user actually forgot a space after the closing parenthesis (I tested these examples in my newsreader [Dialog], and it does the right thing, so I see no reason why The Bat couldn't). -- < Jernej Simončič ><><><><>< http://deepthought.ena.si/ > [The Bat! v3.99.3 on Windows 2003 5.2.3790.Service Pack 2] One child is not enough, but two are too many. -- Otoole's Axiom ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.99.03 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
