string.htmlToEmail bug?

string.htmlToEmail matches on a string.lower'ed pattern for the start of the URL but not for the end of the URL.


This line is from the bottom of the loop...

ix = string.patternMatch ("</a>", s)

rather than

ix = string.patternMatch ("</a>", string.lower (s))


The bug causes the text to get mangled slightly. As in this test:

input:

text text text <A HREF="http://link.link.com/">Link text link text link text</A> text text text

---
output:

text text text [1]k text link text link text text text text

[1] http://link.link.com/

---
Desired output (accomplished with string.lower for the end pattern):


text text text Link text link text link text [1] text text text

[1] http://link.link.com/
