broken urls

urls ending with exclamation marks / dots are not parsed correctly

urls ending with an exclamation mark or a dot are not parsed correctly by the "automatically parse links in text" function.

e.g.


http://www.thunderbird-mail.de/wiki/Antivirus-Software_-_Datenverlust_droht!

will be transformed to


http://www.thunderbird-mail.de/wiki/Antivirus-Software_-_Datenverlust_droht!

! is also an end of sentence punctuation so it's ambiguous. The number of URLs ending in ! is likely much less than the number of people wanting to do http://www.vbulletin.com!

This is the correct behavior.

Thanks for Your quick reply.

Please consider that more and more sites are using "speaking urls" (e.g. wikis) and therefore the number of urls ending with "sentence puntactions" might increase.
