I regularly use Outlook as my email client with Chrome. The trick with URLs (or more generally and accurately, URIs) is that some applications don;t identify them automatically until the string is terminated by a non-URI character, e.g. white space.
So, when copying a URI, always paste the string then hit the space bar - this often make the auto-URI-recognition work fine without having to explicitly mark the pasted string as a URI.
The bottom line on URIs, URLs, URNs etc. is Mr. Tim Berners-Lee (him again!), who first standardised this stuff back in 1996: http://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/Axioms.html
