NOTE

Rejected because this is a bug. It should be bugreported.

Summary

When you cut and paste a link via the in game chat the link url is mangled.

E.g.

[17:05:58] TeaDaze > This is a link to a <b><url=showinfo:11400>Jaguar</url></b>

Some parsing is being done on chat input as cutting and pasting a website URL makes it click-able, it would be nice if the Eve links would be parsed too.

Potential Solution

When cutting and pasting Eve in game links, parse them so they become click able again.

Pros

• Easier to cut and paste Intel etc between channels
• Parity between cutting and pasting out of game links and in game links.

Cons

• Easier to cut and paste Intel between channels ;)
