Subject: newline in URLs

Hello!

I discovered a "problem" today while reading a mail-newsletter and trying=
 to=20
click on an URL....
Let me cite the relevant part of the newsletter (KC KDE):

job there. !hint! You can join the KOffice team (http://mail.kde.org/mail=
man/
listinfo/koffice-devel) and get some of the fame /!hint!

The nifty URL-highlighting-feature in KMail doesn't work here because of =
the=20
newline character in the URL. I know, there shouldn't be newlines in URLs=
 -=20
but they appear in many mails.
Since KMail hasn't really a chance here, I tried the second best thing,=20
highlighted the whole URL and klicked on "Open with Konqueror" in the=20
Klipper-popup. But the URL still didn't work because this newline got=20
"translated" into a whitespace....

Are there any reasons against automatically removing newlines after klick=
ing=20
on "Open with..."? If not I will implement this...

servus,
Michael
