I receive an email from ebay, in which a blank between the protocol identifier
http and a colon was missing. 

Bieten Sie jetzt! Erneut bieten:http://cgi.ebay.de/local_part_of_the_URL

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Subscribe to ebay Germany 
2. and read the outbid messages with Mozilla Mail.
3. Click all the links displayed in the message.
Actual Results:  
The result was a blued and underlined link:
bieten:http://cgi.ebay.de/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?[..]

Expected Results:  
The link parser should detect the left part of any link by a known list of
possible prefixes/protocols/etc (eg. 'https://', 'file:///', 'ftp://' etc.)
