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

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. 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 suppose it is possible for a trailing period to actually be part of a
URL, but I suspect far more often than not, it isn't. I'm hoping this
is an easy fix - just changing the list of characters to mark the end
of a link?
