Bug in org-insert-link

Bug in org-insert-link

[Dieter Faulbaum]

I think in the function org-insert-link (Org mode version 9.0.8) is a
bug:
If I use bbdb for a link, there shouldn't be any "converting" of
characters (like ' ' -> %20 and all the umlauts too). With this
converting an entry is not found in bbdb if you click on it (and the
tooltip looks ugly too, but this is not so important).

`org-insert-link' indeed hexifies the link, but I have no problem
opening the link thereafter.

"Normally" you are right (sorry for the noise) but I have anniversary
entries like this:

%%(org-anniversary 1950 12 31)  [[bbdb:B%C3%A4rbel%20M%C3%BCnsterfr%C3%A4%C3%9F][Bärbel]] wird %d

and there it doesn't work (no idea why only there).

OK. The issue was different. It is now fixed.

Thank you.
