Public bug reported: Binary package hint: evolution Symptom: I received an email that contained a link. The link URL uses ampersands to separate URL parameters, and those ampersands were entity encoded with '&'. The link in the email did not work. I happened to also receive a forwarded version of email in which the URL had been entity-decoded (presumably by the intermediary's MUA). That URL worked fine. The only difference between the URLs was entity encoding. I believe that links are supposed to be entity encoded. However, I'm unsure whether decoding is evo's responsibility or that of the browser that receives the link (Firefox 2.0.0.8 in my case). If the former, then it seems that evo doesn't correctly handle links that contain & . http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/, sec C.12. says: "Unfortunately, many HTML user agents have silently ignored incorrect usage of the ampersand character in HTML documents - treating ampersands that do not look like entity references as literal ampersands." -Reece ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 Date: Fri Nov 9 06:49:13 2007 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 7.10 ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/evolution NonfreeKernelModules: fglrx Package: evolution 2.12.0-0ubuntu5 PackageArchitecture: i386 ProcCmdline: evolution --sm-config-prefix /evolution-EvUX2U/ --sm-client-id 117f000101000119379521300000063170017 --screen 0 ProcCwd: /local/home/rkh ProcEnviron: PATH=/home/rkh/opt/i686-linux-2.6/bin:/home/rkh/opt/i686-linux-2.6/sbin:/home/rkh/opt/bin:/home/rkh/opt/sbin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: evolution Uname: Linux snafu 2.6.22-14-generic #1 SMP Sun Oct 14 23:05:12 GMT 2007 i686 GNU/Linux ** Affects: evolution (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: apport-bug -- links in email that contain '&' don't work https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/161212 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug contact for evolution in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
