Avoiding confusion. That's really what I meant by "transition" FWIW... [I agree.] -- Derek D.

As a compromise, I will add the <> delimiters in the stable branch, so it can be included in the next stable release without requiring translator updates. Derek's suggestion requires some word changes that will need translator updates. I'll post a patch here for that change, and when we all agree, will commit that to the master branch. -- Kevin J.

Attached is a patch to master with the suggested change. I would
suggest applying it and looking at the output of `mutt -v` and `mutt
-vv`.
It may also be useful to look at some of the translation files. Some of
them have rearranged the sentence order, such as ca.po, da.po, es.po,
eu.po, hu.po, ja.po, etc.
I'd appreciate feedback about how the revised sentence structure would
affect those translations, if anyone can comment.

FWIW, I chose that exact formatting because it completely obviates the need for any extraneous (non-URL) characters near the URL itself. It is unambiguous and does not beg for grammatical adornments or visual separators, which might trip up either the human user or the user's software. I doubt the difference really warrants even the amount of discussion we've already had about it... ;-) -- Derek D.

If you and Vincent can find a version you like, I'm happy to commit that. :-) -- Kevin J.
