The following URL isn't being parsed correctly :

You can use the HTML-style character escape, like '-'. http://gimp-win.sourceforge.net/

However, it's error-prone. when you preview your message (and I presume when it is quoted as well) it will revert to just the character.

Of course, it also does seem like URL parsing ought not to stop when it encounters the hyphen.

This has been noted before, and I finally managed to fix it! I'd like to mention that I fracking hate regular expressions.
