I am glad someone replied to this thread and I found it again.  There is a
small difference between

<http://machine.domain.tld/somefile/>

and

<URL:http://machine.domain.tld/somefile/>

One registers in some news readers, and one doesn't.  You can click and go
on the first one, but not on the second.

Really?  This has my quite surprised, as the second one is actually the
proposed standard according to RFC 1738.  It is supposed give the UAs a
better chance of distinguishing between URLs and other data structures
in plain text.  It is also supposed to work for broken lines, so this
URL should be clickable: <URL:http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/htbin/rfc/
rfc1738.html>.  Dunno if it works, though.
