I can't figure out where it comes into play, but VM's notion
of the extent
of a URL is too greedy. In the emails they send out, discussion forums
often embed URLs in some [url]...[/url] tags, e.g.:
[
url]http://www.google.com/[/url]
VM highlights the trailing "[/url]" as part of the URL, so it sends too much
to your browser if you click the highlighted text. I'm using VM 7.17 in
XEmacs 21.5.28. I've never seen a situation where "[" appears unencoded
in
a URL, so even if it's valid to leave it unencoded I think you'd have fewer
problems if you kept it out of the match set when looking for the end of the
URL.
FWIW, thunderbird is also greedy so this must be standard, probably an
RFP. I didn't look it up, but I know that <> can be used correctly like
<
