It is not anyone's browser doing this, but the archiving software, which 
is broken, for it is this archiving software which is converting plain 
text URLs to hyperlinks. Decent archiving software ought to do what for 
example Thunderbird does, recognise characters illegal in URL's like 
comma, and trailing full stops, are not part of a URL.

The archiving software is also broken for taking long plain text lines 
in postings like 
https://lists.ibiblio.org/sympa/arc/b-hebrew/2006-July/028851.html , 
which should be wrapped, and treating them as preformatted long lines, 
i.e. in <PRE>...</PRE>.
