It's not just a matter of RFC in the case of webmail.  The problem is
that a lot of people put URIs in an assortment of places in their
emails... for example, in parenthesis
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parenthesis) or other places that make
parsing the URI out of the email text challenging to say the least.

You can "fix" the issue by opening functions/url_parser.php and find
the line where $url_parser_poss_ends is defined (probably line 84),
and remove both "(" and ")" from that list.
