Linkification broken for angle bracket enclosed URLs

Hello! I have spotted a problem with URL linkification in the mail archive: it looks like URLs are not linkified inside RFC 3986 angle bracket delimiters https://tools.ietf..org/html/rfc3986#appendix-C

Example message showing the problem:

https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/dhcwg/pMkq7ZS98PsQMIKUSUuUYAFILHw/

In the quoted paragraph starting “1.” a URL is linkified, then in the immediately following text there is another URL which is not linkified.

This looks to be a problem with the order of message text processing. First the text is escaped which results in this:

<https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/dhcwg/5o2w-njCCxFJp1Omkiaal7KFRSw>

This foils the Django template filter urlize which otherwise would properly handle angle bracket enclosed URLs.

Need to correct the order of processing without breaking something else.

The fix for this issue caused other issues with text/html MIME types and had to be backed out.

This message for example, https://mailarchive.ietf.org/arch/msg/ietf/qv-H-b8zNQZAiq2YGD9xs83DjBo/, was displayed escaped. "
