org-mode, file-link, tramp, and smb domain

Hello,

In tramp the syntax for specifying a domain in a smb link is by using a
percentage sign [1]

//smb:user%DOMAIN@host:D/path/

but when trying to use this together with the org-mode file: link the
result is that it changes %D to ^M (control-M). Similar results are gotten
with other characters after the percentage sign. (If the letter is not in
the hexadecimal range, ^@ (null) is received). Even %% does not escape the
percentage sign.

Is there any easy workaround?

Thanks!
Dov

Maybe encode the % using %25 (hex value for %) so "... user%25DOMAIN@ ..."?

Untested, mind you!

This last part is not entirely clear to me. Could you elaborate on what
are you doing exactly to "use this together with file: link"?

Thank you.
