Bug Description

In bug 129880, the last word of the first line is 'bug'. The next line then starts with a timestamp '18:56:48'. The 'bug' and the '18' have been turned into a link to bug 18, which is obviously not the intended meaning.

We accept bug reports and comments by e-mail, and many people use e-mail clients that hard-wrap lines.

As indicated in comment 1, there is a definite use case for allowing this type of bug linking.

I'm reopening this because 'bug 18:54:23' doesn't look like something we should linkify. The question about the utility of linking when a mail client hard wraps at 78 characters is an interesting one, but too narrow a view of the problem IMO.

summary: - Bug links are added regardless of newlines
+ Bug links are added to timestamps
