The following concrete example may relate to the same issue.

I use "mutt" for reading my emails and "urlview" to help me select (and
cache in WWWOFFLE's Outgoing List) any URLs - mentioned in the emails
text - that I want to download when I am next online.

Regrettably, "urlview" has a (known) bug; it adds a VT (ASCII 09) to the
end of every URL so that all the mentioned URLs are displayed in a table
(in w3m).  By clicking on a line in the table, the "URL + VT" are cached
in WWWOFFLE.

Some web-sites ignore the unwanted VT; some do not and notify that the
URL does not exist. 

I realise that it is unreasonable to ask WWWOFFLE to develop a routine
for overcoming a "urlview" bug, but there could be an indication in the
WWWOFFLE lists that the unwanted VT is present.

Any <comments|advice> will be gratefully received.
