I believe this is still working correctly.

Also, I've added mailto linking to the software.

Also, links with <> around them won't try to include the trailing angle
bracket.

Here's all the links I support, just for the record:

http://
gopher://
file://
ftp://
telnet://
mailto:

I don't explicitly support <URL:...> unless it contains one of the URL
types above. You'd think this would be an easy one, but the way I wrote
my software it will take some extra work before I can support this format
directly.

I also support ftp references of the form: site:/path
and references to other FAQs of the form: (see "archive-name")
or: (see also "archive-name")
and references to subsections of the current FAQ in the same form,
using the section titles (subjects): (see "Introduction")

RFC references will be supported again soon.
Man page references will no longer be supported.
