I respectfully disagree. Especially on mailing lists and in
forwarded messages the url will not be put there by you
yourself, and especially in mailing lists your interest in a
url might only be aroused the second or third time that
somebody discusses the content of that url.

Most other software for mail and news applies the principle
of highligthed urls no matter whether they are original or
quoted, and I've never seen complaints about distraction or
illegibility.
Would you please reconsider?
