Developers of Sympa

["Adam Bernstein" <address@concealed>]

I'm still using 3.3.5, but I've applied all the relevant patches (I think)
and still having the problem:

When a message ID has the character $ in it, it gets transformed at some
point by Sympa into a %, and then the link to the archived message in the
summary will cause an Internal Server Error.  For instance, a message with
Message-ID of "001e01c30fe8$2464801210$24a464a8c0@Vopalensky" will produce
the following link in the summary message, which will fail:

<http://npogroups.org/lists/arcsearch_id/cansi-board/2003-05/001e01c30fe8%2464801210%24a464a8c0@Vopalensky>

while this one will succeed:

<http://address@concealed>

If the Message-ID starts out with a "%" in it, it works fine.  If I manually
replace the "%" with "$" in the broken URL above, I don't get an Internal 
Server Error, but I do get a "msg_not_found" message.  If I replace it with 
"\$", then the URL works and the message comes up.

Obviously it's some problem with escaping special characters, right?  I've 
updated my tools.pl so that the escape_chars(), unescape_chars(), and 
escape_html() routines are identical to the current Sympa release, and I've
applied the patches that look like they might be relevant, including this 
one from 3.3.6b1:

    "[reported by Jeg] filename containing %xx chars could not be 
     accessed/edited/deleted"

with no effect.  Is there a different patch that might help, or is this
bug still in the code?
