I believe it is necessary to scan the whole message.  The whole point
is to have, for instance, clickable URLs anywhere in the message, even 
if it is a long FAQ.

However, the citation functions have a limit to the message length
after which they no longer attempt to do anything.  Maybe the same
variable should be extended to buttonization and emphasis functions?
