Hi Don,

No, I don't think it is the client, at least not the client at the
receiving end. The URL reference is already there in the source of the
message.

This is the source as my ISP sent from the raw file as it was received
before it was processed by their spam filter:

The href=http:// is in there already. The ISP told me they store raw
files, put them through the mailscanner and then send the result to me. 
He cut from raw message as received by them and sent that to me. That's
the part quoted above, represented after I got it as in the OP.

The mailscanner warning is put in by the mailscanner of the provider,
that's true. However, the mailscanner leaves version numbers not
referred to as a link untouched.

Best regards,
