I recently received an email with the text

Thank you for contacting the office of Congressman Joe Courtney. Due to large 
amounts of spam and fraudulent emails this account is not monitored. To ensure 
messages receive the Congressman's attention we ask that you share your 
thoughts through his website at https://courtney.house.gov/contact/email. Thank 
you.

and Balsa nicely turned the URL into a link.  Unfortunately, it included the 
ending period in the URL, which led to a 404 not found error, which I 
originally blamed on the sender, before realizing that it couldn't be their 
fault, since there is no markup in the plain text.

I must admit that I also stumbled into this issue from time to time, but never 
cared.  I'll look into that, should be easy to fix.

Interestingly, there was also no markup of the link in the HTML version, so 
that version did not show a link, but I'll blame that on whichever library I am 
currently using for Balsa to display the HTML.

I guess the HTML renderer will show a clickable link if and only if it is a “<a 
href="…">…</a>” HTML element.  Did you check that in the html source?

Cheers,
Albrecht.
