2008-04-13: The bug is still there. Just did a fresh install of 7.10 and
received eBay mail with links all going to "Unvalid article". Everywhere
there's this &
I don't understand the technical terms. I'll try Thunderbird eMail now,
even though that doesn't offer Calender and Tasks :-(

[Bug 149964] Re: evolution: URLs with ampersand ("&") don't work
I'm glad to say that the issue appears fixed for me too in Hardy today.
My test condition was sending myself an eBay "You might like to look at
this item" automated email. This time, the ampersands were not mangled
into html markup on arrival in the local Evolution, neither in the
displayed string in the message preview nor - critically - in the url
string passed to the browser.
The problem persists in Gutsy for now; presumably the fix will become
available, at least as a backport if there is a reason to keep it out of
the normal repositories.

This appears fixed for me in the latest version of Hardy. In fact, it
has been working in Hardy for some time now.

The version of Evolution (and dependencies) currently available in the
normal Gutsy (7.10) repositories, including Gutsy Proposed and Gutsy
Backports still displays the problem discussed here. The fix has not
made it to Gutsy yet. I intend to check Hardy Alpha 6 for the
problem/fix this weekend and will report back.

This was actually a bug on gtkhtml3.14, and it was fixed there in
September 2007. Marking fix released for Hardy, but it may had made it
to Gutsy, not sure, and will check later.

re.: "@all: Is this still an issue on current (hardy) Evo? Or is this
issue affecting Gutsy-level Evo only now? I am not sure I follow the
last entries here."
The reason I am asking is that we then can consider a backport of the
fix to Gutsy. In that case, anyone of you affected, and interested in
the backport, could prepare the patch and propose it.
Please keep in mind that almost all of us are volunteers here, and --
very much like you all, I guess -- have also other things to do. Instead
of just stating this is annoying, please act on it, and help all of us.

[Bug 149964] Re: evolution: URLs with ampersand ("&") don't work
There is several things you didn't consider there:
- where is the patch which you mention? (there is one attached upstream which
didn't get comments nor testing now)
- changes can created regressions and need to be carrefully tested
- there is ten of thousand of bugs open and limited ressources working on
those, your bug might not be the top priority ones and people are sometime busy
on other things
Note that nobody argued that users should modify the URL, the patch is
being considered but there is a new source file there, changes to the
build system and some non trivial code changes, it's not easy to make
sure the patch doesn't create any other breakage (some issues have
already been pointed on bugzilla and an updated patch uploaded)

[Bug 149964] Re: evolution: URLs with ampersand ("&") don't work
Because I didn't understand the discussions going on - it reminds me of
discussions with co-workers in my company. We have the following
situation:
a) a very visible bug appeares in one of the key applications of Ubuntu,
so that ordinary users like me will recognize it and say "what a bad job
they have done..."
b) quickly a patch is developed - the problem seems to be solved, the
application would work again as it should and has been for years, if the
patch would be applied
c) but people discuss whether to apply the patch or not, talk about
'it's just annoying', people can manually change the URLs and that it
doesn't matter that links are no longer "readable"
But perhaps I'm too simple-minded to follow...

[Bug 149964] Re: evolution: URLs with ampersand ("&") don't work
It's worse than only being an annoyance.
Today I received a newsletter (HTML format) that contains a lot of
links. Evolution not only cripples the links itself, but also the
visible link names.
For instance: The German word "Säbelsägeblätter" reads as
"Säbelsägeblätter" in Evolution.
It is not unusual to have these kind of words, as umlauts are quite
common in some languages...
Again, I also want to stress the fact that this bug was just recently
introduced. Some weeks ago evolution's implementation of links was
correct (and all the other versions before).
Since there are a lot of Gnome/Evolution users around, this bug will get
quite famous once Gutsy Gibbon is released.

right, that's a really annoyance in some case and we will consider it

to get upstream feedback on the change

Nobody accused of it either!
It is only an annoyance, but one that will occur for anyone using the
eBay notification email service, which is probably a very common case.
I think my point was meant to be that it will affect many users, not all
of whom will consider it to be trivial to work around. Obviously I
could have phrased it better...

Nobody from Ubuntu said "Just edit the html tag out in the address bar,
Luser", this bug is nor a security issue nor a major one, it's rather an
annoyance so it's not top priority for a stable update, we might
consider it once the patch has got testing though

[Bug 149964] Re: evolution: URLs with ampersand ("&") don't work
There's now a proposed patch for this problem. (Milan Crha 18/10).
Any chance of testing this and getting it adopted quickly if it works?
This is exactly the kind of bug that is confusing and disturbing to
'average users' but too easy for geeks to say "Just edit the html tag
out in the address bar, Luser". Which doesn't help Linux advocacy.
We're already stuck with enough (legal) problems getting people's MP3s
and DVD movies to play...
I also notice that in the body of emails from eBay the item names
(clickable links) also display the same symptom, with ampersands
expanded to & Likely the same underlying problem is causing this as
well, and only cosmetic, but worth checking that the proposed fix
addresses this too. If it doesn't, then something is still hiding there
ready to bite us!

Hi Sebastien,
attached is the mail exported by evolution - hope this is possible to
import. Otherwise I can forward you this e-mail (using Thunderbird
and/or evolution ?).
The preferred browser command is "use the preferences of the browser".
The default browser is, of course, firefox.
