Details

2001101503 win32 on win2kpro-sp2 -- I'm guessing on the problem component. Acronyms such as "B.A.S.I.C." or "C.I.A." or "S.P.E.B.S.Q.S.A." are highlighted as HTTP:// URLs in text-plain messages. Simply send a non-HTML message to yourself with "I love Visial B.A.S.I.C." in the body. (Then vomit for typing it in the first place.) This is a little overboard; sticking to auto-hyperlinking if the text *does* start with a URL prefix is fine. Perhaps adjusting the parser to auto-link if there's a slash in the contiguous string before any whitespace if there's not a type prefix.
