[sylpheed:37327] Unicode not treated correctly - links do not work

Dear Sylpheed users and developers,

I now tracked down my problem for not being able to open specific links from a
health service provider in sylpheed. It is the following unicode symbol for
the equal sign:


Unicode Hex Character Code = =
Symbol Name: 	Equals Sign
Html Entity: 	
Hex Code: 	=
Decimal Code: 	=
Unicode Group: 	Basic Latin

Within a link it is no correctly parsed and instead of an equal sign it is
just left out. Example: (cut out from the real one)

https://somedomain.app/?....oiZGUifQ&v=3&fetchLast=false&ref=email

When clicking on the link to pass it to the browser or even when selecting and
and manually pasting it as a link to the browser, the = is gone and the
ampersand is correcly mapped.

When I manually replace it with = and the & with &, the link works.

I this something that can be fixed easily or is it an incorrect use of the
encoding within links?

Thx
Jocki
