I don't use AOL, though I do participate in many plain text lists. Angle brackets are not only the accepted convention, but the most reliable in such venues. Wrapping a URL in underscores makes the URL invalid, wrapping it in parentheses is a hit-or-miss proposition, especially if the email client wraps the line. A misinterpretation and invalidation of a URL in angle brackets, if the message is sent (appropriately) in plain text, is something I've never even heard of. I could understand such an occurrence (I suppose) if the email were inappropriately sent formatted as HTML.
To each his own though. I simply noticed that you were having some difficulty getting the links to your (quite nice) Scripter's Scrapbook tool to be successfully usable, and offered something that I learned years ago works best and most reliably on such lists as this one - particularly in cases where the URL is split by wrapped lines.
