GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 783811
URLs delimited with <> and word-wrapped do not work
Last modified: 2021-05-19 11:45:58 UTC
RFC3986/STD66 Appendix C <https://tools.ietf.org/html/std66#appendix-C> says that URIs can be delimited by wrapping in <> and embedded whitespace should be ignored. So this should work, and be clickable when received in email: <http://www. gnome.org/> But it isn't clickable when I receive an email like that.
Thanks for a bug report. Some parts are done in a C code (camel-mime-filter-tohtml), when converting text/plain to HTML, some are done in composer using regular expressions [1]. [1] https://git.gnome.org/browse/evolution/tree/src/modules/webkit-editor/web-extension/e-editor-dom-functions.h#n29
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/Community/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a new enhancement request ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/evolution/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
