For those of you interested in getting this class of bugs fixed in your newsreaders and mail clients, please file bugs referring to appendix of RFC 1738, which states:
"
[...] it is convenient to have a separate syntactic wrapper that delimits the URL and separates it from the rest of the text, and in particular from punctuation marks that might be mistaken for part of the URL. For this purpose, is recommended that angle brackets ("<" and ">"), along with the prefix "URL:", be used to delimit the boundaries of the URL. This wrapper does not form part of the URL and should not be used in contexts in which delimiters are already specified.
[...] "
I hope you realize that your URLs did not include the "URL:" prefix recommended above... perhaps more clients could cope if it did (though I have my doubts). -- Jason McCarty <bclg@iup.edu>
