Bug Description

Binary package hint: evolution

Evolution 2.26.1 in Ubuntu 9.04

Link inserted into an email will work for URL that is alphanumeric, but not if an underscore is contained. The inserted link is blued on one side of the underscore, and clickin either has no effect or produces a broken link message. I note that a previous bug report that the ampersand character had the same effect.

Confirmed, getting the same issue, it's cut just on the underscore, that's a gtkhtml issue though, reassigning.
