I disagree.  Note for example that <http://example.com/,> is a
perfectly valid URL different from <http://example.com/>.
Nevertheless it is often desirable to use URLs in sentences where a
comma which is not part of the URL immediately follows the URL with
no intervening whitespace.

Has the bug been reported to the email client providers?
