Make url's in messages identified as http://... or https://... have the rel="nofollow" attribute to reduce the value of spamming public trackers. Internal links: issue20 msg10 etc. won't have the nofollow attribute.

 - Add RejectRaw exception to allow unescaped HTML error messages to be
   displayed to the user (thanks Ezio Melotti for the initial patch)

+- Add rel=nofollow to http and https url's in the body of messages.
+  This should reduce the value of a public roundup tracker to spammers.
+  References like issue20 or msg10 will hyperlink without
+  rel=nofollow so that robots can index them. Similar work was done
+  for the history display in roundup 1.5.0. (John Rouillard)
