           Summary: plain text emails should not replace ampersand & with
                    &
           Product: kmail
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Debian testing
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdepim-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: brian at derocher.org


Version:            (using KDE 4.3.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

Looks like Kmail is changing & to & in plain text emails.  The link is
clickable and the correct URL is use (the one with &).  But i need to cut and
paste this URL into Firefox.  The displayed version shows &s;.  If you put
& in the location bar, the query string parameters are not separated
correctly.

Content-Type: text/plain;
  charset=UTF-8

View source has:

https://green-site/?Ticket=85&Page=next

But the URL that is displays is:

https://green-site/?Ticket=85&Page=next

Viewing the source code a little, it seems odd to me that a function called
ObjectTreeParser::processTextPlainSubtype(...) is calling quoteHtmlChars()
which does this:

case '&':
        result += "&";
