Bug Description

The URLs inserted by the scrubber are not properly delimited. I've
seen instances where Apple Mail tried to fetch a URL like this, for
example:

http://mail.sussex.ac.uk/mailman/private/iant-test5/attachments/
20050721/3533d8c6/
uscsbullet.png____________________________

Where the underscores came from the list signature.

Wrapping the URLs in angle brackets, in accordance with the
recommendation of the appendix of http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/
rfc1738.html fixes this problem.

Here's a diff (-e) of Mailman/Handlers/Scrubber.py which seems to
do the job:

313c
Url : <%(url)s>
.
280c
Url: <%(url)s>
.
259c
URL: <%(url)s>
.
233c
URL: <%(url)s>
.
205c
Url: <%(url)s>
.
