More information - sorry, I should have done better homework and this should be in the original description:

The bug does not occur with good plain-text emails.

It happens when replying to an email that was sent as RTF by Outlook, and the underscores are added around the url part that Outlook's RTF marked up in a pretty blue underline.

Colin, can you attach a testcase message source to this bug?
(remove private data as required)

I am also failing to understand the link:
<a href="%rd%/%space%/*http://www.example.com/"
What's the purpose of %rd%/%space%/*?

Your reply, is it in Plain-Text format (no format toolbar in composer)?
