Daniel,
Here is another bug in the 2a15 code.
URLs appearing within the body of the message that already have brackets
around them are not getting HTMLized correctly by 2a15:
<http://www.cimi.org/about/how_to_join.html>.
This is what hypermail 2a15 would generate for the above two lines:
<<A HREF="http://www.cimi.org/about/how_to_join.html> The problem, as you can see, is the nesting of the < and > when it
<http://www.cni.org/>
Haven't tested for other wrappers
e.g. ( and )
around the URL to see how 2a15 handles them, but I suspect they would
http://www.cimi.org/about/how_to_join.html>
gets marked up. The program appears to be adding the > to the
URL, and then attempting to build an HTML HREF out of it... Correct
markups would be...
<<A HREF="http://www.cimi.org/about/how_to_join.html">
http://www.cimi.org/about/how_to_join.html>>
[ and ]
be treated the same.
