[jonah] invalid links

[Dan Chlopek]

After digging through the Jonah code a bit to see where the strage 
looking links
were being generated, I found something in jonah/lib/News.php

News.php uses SERIALIZE_UTF7_BASIC option to the serialize function.  If I
change this to SERIALIZE_BASIC, everything works fine, and the urls generated
look normal.

Here's a diff:

179,180c179,180
<         $stories = $cache->getData($url,
"Horde_Serialize::serialize(Jonah_News::_fetchExternalStories('$url',
'$timestamp'), SERIALIZE_UTF7_BASIC);", $interval);
<         $stories = Horde_Serialize::unserialize($stories,
SERIALIZE_UTF7_BASIC);
---
>         $stories = $cache->getData($url, 
> "Horde_Serialize::serialize(Jonah_News::_fetchExternalStories('$url', 
> '$timestamp'), SERIALIZE_BASIC);", $interval);
>         $stories = Horde_Serialize::unserialize($stories, SERIALIZE_BASIC);

I'm not really sure why the UTF7 conversion is needed in there but it seems to
break things for me.  Any ideas??
