Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nautilus

A username with an 'at' (@) symbol in it fails to run in Nautilus:

Typing in a URL manually (ftp://[EMAIL PROTECTED]@domain/) results in this
error:

=====
Couldn't display "ftp://[EMAIL PROTECTED]@domain/", because the host could be 
found.
Check that the spelling is correct and that your proxy settings are correct.
=====

However, if you use Places > Connect to Server, Nautilus can parse
unwanted characters into entities easily:
ftp://[EMAIL PROTECTED]/

Where:
u_part1 could equal 'brett'
u_part2 could equal 'launchpad.net'
domain could equal 'launchpad.net'

Can we get Nautilus to use the last 'at' (@) symbol to indicate domain
and have all other unwanted characters beforehand (in the username) be
converted?
