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.
