Lighthouse has a new layout. Prefer the old one? Return to the old layout, and switch back any time from the link at the top of each page.

Improve URL detection

#2833

I have had multiple cases where I have clicked on a URL in a message, and it did not work because MailMate didn't use the full address. I can't remember what the problem was in all instances, but today it was that the URL ends like this:

ZbBpRsD-

MailMate left out the final '-'
I understand it's not easy to determine what makes up a URL if it isn't enclosed in brackets, but the assumption that it can't end with a '-' character appears to be wrong.

    There's a known issue with the use of parentheses which is likely the most common problem. This should be better in recent test releases.

    It can be a bit tricky to get this right in general, e.g., MailMate won't include . if it's at the end of a link (which makes sense) and the same thing happens for -. That might make less sense and I'll see what happens if I disable that (maybe I will then get reports about cases where this is not the expected behavior).
