Ok, the second 2nd suggestion at the above link works well for my RT 3.4.2 
system, except that I had to remove the 6th line such that it looks like:

<%init>
my $val = $$content;
use bytes;
$val =~ s/https?:([\w\/\@\-~%#?=;,.:+]|\&)+[\w\/]/<a href="$&" 
target="_blank">$&<\/a>/gi;
$val =~ s/(s?ftp|ftps):[\w\/\.:+\-]+/<a href="$&">$&<\/a>/gi;
href="mailto:$2">$&<\/a>/ gi;
$val =~ s/\<((url:\s*)?\w+:[^&<>]+)\>/<<a href="$1" 
target="_blank">$1<\/a>>/gi;
$$content = $val;
</%init>
<%args>
$content => undef
</%args>

My system had problems with the 6th line (my system complained about syntax 
issues), so I just deleted it; I'm not worried about lack of mailto: links 
for now.

I'm making a reference in the above wiki page to this end...but I'm not 
sure how to correct it.
