This string is generated when libpurple gets an HTML string like
<a href="http://blah.blah.com/browse.php? 
show_tree=1&tree_only=1&Submit=Browse+Reports">http://blah.blah.com/ 
browse.php?show_tree=1&tree_only=1&Submit=Browse+Reports</a>
and is asked for the plaintext version of it. This was implemented to  
allow things like <a href="http://www.pidgin.im">click me</a>.  
Previously, this would only have produced the string "click me" in  
the plain text version, which is rather insufficient.

Maybe the strings should be compared for equality and the link should  
not be inserted in case they're equal...
