It would be really great to have URL's embedded in
messages 
display as links in a browser. E.G.

  
ftp://www.greatcircle.com/pub/majordomo
  
http://www.twiki.org/
  nntp:...
  telnet:...
  
in the body 
of the message would display as links
allowing fast integration 
of external documentation,
or access to external 
resources.

Also email like addresses like:

  
user@example.com

would be displayed as email 
hyperlinks.

It would also be nice if you could define your 
own
list of transport modes, so I could create a
mode that 
would substitute a the text after it
into the URL. I can't get to 
www.twiki.org right now,
but the idea is the same as interwiki 
links. E.G. suppose I want to link to a page in a cvs repository, I 
create the mode:

    ConfigCvs-> 
http://my.host.com/viewcvs/config/%s

then I can 
type:

  ConfigCvs:hosts/hosts.allow

and get a 
hyperlink that goes to:

  
http://my.host.com/viewcvs/config/hosts/hosts.allow

Careful though as long links -- for example to 
SourceForge tracker items -- may get wrapped over 
several lines by the browser on submission.

This isn't a bug. I've implemented it anyway.
