Well mine doesn't without the http:// appended.

Mine does but I wasn't suggesting we should ommit it... by definition a URL does contain the protocol too :-)

I was told you should _not_ leave a space!

Well it works either way (although at least M2 -and that's not according to the standards-will not underline the first one as a proofreading measure) ... but one thing I realized just now is that if quoted more than one time (at least on my mailer) provided that you ARE word-wrapping even that stops to work as mailers do insert an LF (or CR&LF) in order to quote ('>') successfuly...
The resulting address having an line break stops working period :-) (Except for the first part that includes the http://

I know Outback includes the final '>' - that was your original problem I

Yep.  Outback simply does not recognise this.
However even if Outback splits line, my software (and loads of others I
expect) are clever enough to reassemble and correctly underline
everything.

As I said, provided that the URL follows some rules (and apparently when no quoting took place in the meantime)

It usually does very well.  Lets see what it does to the above.
I reckon this is ONT (I am trying to encourage that and the converse:
OFT rather than the totally ambiguous OT.  )

Hmmm another netiquette issue ;-) Is it covered by an RFC???
