Could you please revert to the 3.1.x behavior for all characters that 
can occur in URLs. In http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=68479 a KMail 
user reports:
"Link handling in the composer window in kmail 1.5.93 has improved, but 
this link is broken across two lines after the % character.

Even enclosing the whole link in <..> characters doesn't help.

http://www.mail-archive.com/video4linux-list%
40listman.redhat.com/msg06262.html"

Note, that this message demonstrates the bug (in the bug report the URL 
was in one line). I'm using Qt 3.2.3 FWIW.

Regards,
Ingo
