[Design] url wrapping in email (Was: High End Email)

One thing that we might do is give support for bracketed URLs.  If you
are reading a message with Eudora (for Mac -- I don't remember if
Eudora-Win does this as well), if there is a URL enclosed in angle
brackets, Eudora will recognize the start and end of it, even if it is
split across multiple lines.

In other words, in Eudora, both of the below lines
<http://www.flossrecycling.com/projects/news/pressreleases/
ModelXJ27bStroke5NewReleaseImpressesFlossRecyclingConventionAttendees.html>

would show up in blue, be clickable, and take you to the HTML page
properly.  (Uh, don't bother, that's an example only, I don't have a
page there....)
