I use VM.  It highlights correctly as long as the leading "http://" is
there, provided the URL isn't followed immediately by punctuation which=
 can
occur in a URL.  In Brett's summary he avoids that problem by adding a =
space
between the URL and the ambiguous punctuation.  I think that looks odde=

than the <...> notation.
