Linkification code breaks with URLs that are followed by greater-than+comma or greater-than+period.

[Christian Reis]

For instance, <http://async.com.br/~kiko>, is broken. As is <http://async.com.br/~kiko>. As is also http://async.com.br/~kiko, which is a bit more understandable but still unfortunate. Finally, this is also broken: http://async.com.br/~kiko.

"," and "." are legal characters for URLs, but "<" and ">" are not.

[Christian Reis (kiko)]

Yep, I was right. All borked.

This is an OpenPGP/MIME signed message (RFC 2440 and 3156)

However, you are much more likely to guess the correct URL by dropping
trailing punctuation, as URLs that end in ,.) etc are extremely rare. I
think this is a good time to depart from the specs into the real world,
which is also the choice Thunderbird made.
