Unwanted characters at the end of link in Evolution email. Inbuilt parsing of hyperlinks in a manner similar to that which is used by a spell checker.
This is a matter related to the one reported above. I frequently cut from a browser a URL and place it in my email for the convenience of my recipients. I may then type a space character end the sentence with a full stop or punctuate the sentence with a comma. At this point, Evolution's email text editor includes these characters into the URL. The consequence of this is that when the email recipient clicks on the URL they receive a html 404 error from the web-server and many every-day users are alarmed by this. Many also do not know to try to trim off trailing spurious characters so as to make the link, now displayed in their web-browser, legal. I would like to suggest there should be a built-in parser for URL links within the Evolution email text editor and when there are trailing characters or other characters that are not legal, they should be removed. If a person wants to put at the end of a URL characters that would typically generate a 404 error, then there is a need for there to be a provision within the editor for the author to indicate that atypical requirement by, for example, putting the link within quotation marks. I hope this comment is helpful. Thank you for your efforts.
