 When receiving a URI, I noticed that a string is always appended to its
 end, often causing a malformed link.
 The string is "%E2%80%AC", which I found to be the Unicode character 'POP
 DIRECTIONAL FORMATTING' (U+202C) [http://is.gd/k6zA].

 i.e., a user sent me the url:
    http://example.com/page.html?arg=1
 it displays correctly, but when I'll click on it the browser will load:
    http://example.com/page.html?arg=1%E2%80%AC

 I'm using Pidgin 2.5.2 under Ubuntu 8.10.
