Gnus highlights correctly with the `http://', and adds clickability.  The `<'
and '>' are not needed.  I do not know what other mail readers do.

To get the same effects with email addresses, I often prefer using `mailto:'
as a prefix over writing `<' and `>' around a quoted address in a message
body, even if not fully systematic about this.  In the message header itself,
`<' and '>' are the proper way to go, of course.
