It's just that it yet another step to have to perform and I'm surprised that something as well featured as the Bat doesn't support a very common form of URL embedding.

The URL prefix
I'm using The Bat V2 (although this appeared to be the same in V1.X) and I've noticed a problem with embedded URL's in messages. If the message contains a URL in this format http://foobar.com then The Bat correctly identifies it as a URL and makes it a "hot spot". But if it is sent in this format http://foobar.com> then it is not. RFC 1738 discusses this format and while support for this method of doing things isn't required it is one of the more common methods of quoting URLs in plain text. Am I missing a switch or does The Bat just not support this? Hopefully it's the former as cutting and pasting URL's is getting to be a pain!
