Hello
this is odd,
I received an email containing an http address, according to gnus is
was "decoded" as
http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/file/fid%2c67731/description.html?tk=nl_ddxdwn
but this is not correct,
using thunderbird, in the same message the url was displayed as
http://www.pcworld.com/downloads/file/fid,67731/description.html?tk=nl_ddxdwn
which is correct.
is there any way to change this misbehaviour?

I assume you are talking about a text/plain part? Gnus is not a HTML
renderer. There's no reason to convert "%2c" to "," when displaying
text/plain. I tend to think that rendering text/plain is a bug in
Thunderbird.

I think the bug is on pcworld.com, but I might be wrong.
theotp1:~/public_html/tmp$ cat fid,67731
Komma
theotp1:~/public_html/tmp$ cat fid%2c67731
%2c
<http://theotp1.physik.uni-ulm.de/~ste/tmp/fid,67731>
--> Komma
<http://theotp1.physik.uni-ulm.de/~ste/tmp/fid%2c67731>

Bye, Reiner.

So you are saying that this bug finally gives the right result, namely
connecting to the url, while the correct behavior of gnus ends up in a
url which cannot be visited by any browser I have tried.

Both connect to comma right.
Strang3 problem all together

All 4 look like correct returns to me. The "%2c" is a URL
escape. Use of "special" characters in URLs is somewhat limited.
See RFC 3986.
Use http://theotp1.physik.uni-ulm.de/~ste/tmp/fid%252c67731 to
retrieve "%2c". And, just for safety, in case "%" is a special
character in your command line (using wget), place the entire url in
quotes.
