btw, just so you are aware and to keep people HAPPY..have a small script that will strip out the < and > and ;
As you said, it's a simple workaround and doesn't address the big picture. As sweede pointed out in an earlier post, there are other situations that also confuse mIRC. If the RFC had been followed, none of these situations would be a problem.
I find it really pathetic that the mIRC developers are ignoring the requests of some of their users to fix this bug because "Khaled will have to rejig mirc" or "mirc will have to work harder to process the url". Any feature that is added requires mIRC having to do more work that it already did. Any bug fix requires Khaled to rejig mIRC. That's expected when you develop software.
