not sure how else to do this.
ok fine, it did however parse it for some reason. there was a button with open url (http://asdf) and it opened that exact string in the browser. Weird stuff.

That one should render properly if markup is used, so the problem is somewhere else. For example double escaping the & character would do this, making the string &amp;lt; instead of &lt;
Perhaps line 799 in account.py version 0.3.1-9?

Well both of them, as they are redundant characters. Perhaps one could parse users starting with @ and ending with space or :
anyway I now just manually edit the thing, but the "RT @user:" method seems to be commonly used. (tweetdeck, echofon and gravity use that method at least)

Oh yes, right you are. Don't know what it didn't work just now. My bad.

currently if there is no text in the entry field, it doesn't send.
I'm aware this needs a proper pop up warning, or just to post with no comment
Cool, Thanks!
