Thanks for the reply. For me it's a usability issue, I'm constantly
pasting the URLs into IM windows and email messages, and those
automatically convert to hyperlinks, but they stop at the first space so
the link doesn't work. I can usually surround it with quote marks, but
I usually forget before sending. Usability-wise I would much rather
have an option for escaped characters all the time, because all other
software which consumes URLs (word processing and IMs) is not smart enough.
