One single long line does not really help with mailer that wrap text.

But IMHO, copying a bunch of lines is not really a trouble. I tested it with 
galeon. Select the whole bunch of lines and paste into the url form of galeon 
is ok.

Summary:  RERegistration-URL in "submission of..." mails is unescaped

Original Submission:  In the mail that gets send out after the registration of 
a new project the RERegistration URL at the end of the mail contains newlines 
and spaces in unescaped form, which makes it pretty hard to correctly get it 
into the webbrowser (it is impossible without manual editing with Galeon).

The URL currently looks like:

----RERegistration-URL-BEGIN-----
http://savannah.nongnu.org/register/basicinfo.php?re_purpose=GQuickDraw is 
meant as a very simple and stupid graphic library, basically a wrapper around a 
small subset of Xlib functions. Its aim is it to allow graphic access with a 
minimum effort, something like:

gd_init_screen(640, 480);
gd_set_color(0xFF00FF);
gd_draw_line(100, 100, 250, 200);

GQuickDraw is written in C and bindings will be provided for both Python and 
Guile. Support for mouse, joystick and load/save of png\'s is planed. 

I started this thing because I missed the ease of use of old Basic dialects, 
which often allowed such easy ways to create graphics, while under C most 
libraries require a huge amount of init code, which sometimes gets larger then 
the programm I indent to write. This library isn\'t meant for real 
applications, but instead for tiny prototypes or visualisations of algorithms.

The current code is available at (well, its a uncleaned dump of my working 
directory):

http://pingus.seul.org/~grumbel/tmp/gquickdraw/
&re_require_sw=GQuickDraw relies on X11 for the graphic output and uses Swig 
for generating the guile and python 
interfaces.&re_comments=&re_full_name=GQuickDraw&re_unix_name=gquickdraw
----RERegistration-URL-END-------

While I think it should be really just one singe long, like:

----RERegistration-URL-BEGIN-----
