And it keeps the URL from breaking on line wraps in the message window.

That's completely dependent on *your* email client. My primary email 
client (Claris Emailer) doesn't support active links. PowerMail, which 
I'll be adopting when I go X, even turns "www.dpreview.com" into an 
active link.

The best and most widely supported format for posting URLs in email and 
elsewhere is to put the entire thing between less than and greater than 
signs, like this:

<http://lowendmac.com>

More email clients will turn this format into an active link than any 
other format.
