Public bug reported:

Using the screenlet Gmail, which implements a call to the function
Mail.get_GMail_Num() from plugins, I noticed that I received an error on
the screenlet output. Checking it further, the reason was that the
function mentioned received the login and password as arguments but
directly put them into the URL string, so when the code (which calls
wget, don't know why) is executed, an error shows up in case the
password or login (most likely password) contains special characters,
such as dollar sign ($) or ampersand (&).

I got it working by using url encode on the login/password values (see
attachment for patch).
