Why do you have to massage anything?  As long as your quoted [word or
phrase] doesn't have a *matching* [word or phrase] flush left (may be
indented up to 3 spaces), followed by a colon, followed by a link, somewhere
else, you're fine.

[this-matches-nothing]: http://www.example.org

All square brackets in this email (except the *attempted* link immediately
above, which is stripped) are passed through unchanged.  What's to massage?
