Heheh! That's a good one. Made me laugh!  :D

The x0A is legit. It's the same as a hard CR when this system  
prepares a message for which I've configured a maximum of 63  
chars per line.

What I think your bot/tosser logic algorithm could do is look  
for illegal chars in the string of the (http....) part, and  
simply take them out.

IOW, if it detects a [ and ] and ( and ) as consecutive pairs,  
then assume it is markup for a link, and then only allow valid  
chars inbetween the round braces.
