           Summary: KNode composer silently gobbles line-terminal characters
                    in message body
           Product: knode
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: knode-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: psychonaut at nothingisreal.com


Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1.4)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs

There seems to be a problem with KNode's composer's line-breaking behaviour.  When the user types or pastes a long URL into the article body in the composer window, KNode will automatically break the line just after certain non-alphanumeric characters, such as slashes.  However, when the article is sent to the news server, the slash at the end of the line is removed.

An example of this behaviour can be observed in the article <2528217.IVfsQfhy8Q at ID-187157.news.dfncis.de> (available at Google Groups via http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=2528217.IVfsQfhy8Q%40ID-187157.news.dfncis.de&output=gplain).  The URL I typed in the article was supposed to be

http://dmoz.org/Computers/Artificial_Intelligence/Natural_Language/Chatterbots/

But KNode seems to have changed this to 

http://dmoz.org/Computers/Artificial_Intelligence/Natural_Language
Chatterbots/

(Note that the second-last slash is missing.)
