Hyperlinks in messages get "expanded"

I sometimes mention a web address or email address in the messages I send.
For example, I
may say "please look at www.microsoft.com "

When I compose the message, such a reference becomes underlined and
clickable and it still appears like that when the message is sent (in Sent
Items.)

However, when the recipient of such a message replies with my original
message quoted, I will sometimes (but not always) see that these "clickable"
references in my original have changed this way:

please look at www.microsoft.com <http://www.microsoft.com >

The mysteriously "added" entry within the brackets is clickable while my
original test is not. (My newsreader may make the original text clickable
here but
it isn't in the email.)

What causes this to happen? Is it the recipient's email program?

Their mail server or mail client is doing it. This often happens when its
converted to plain text. Many clients need the full url (with the http
part) for a url to be clickable in plain text.
