in gnu.emacs.gnus i read:

>("<\\(URL:\\)? *\\([^<>]*\\)>" 2 t gnus-button-embedded-url 2)

and i think you'll want whitespace instead of just space, and in various
places, and at least one real(ish) character, e.g.,

("<\\s-*\\(URL:\\)?\\s-*\\([^<>]+\\)\\s-*>" 2 t gnus-button-embedded-url 2)

however, this is only for buttonizing the text (at least in oort).  once
you are using this there is probably no need for `W u', but if you feel the
need ...

the alist doesn't have anything to do with how `W u' works, which is
handled by a function with a hard-coded format (at least in oort).  here's
a quick hack, though it's not well tested and (still) doesn't handle all
the url types:

(defun article-unsplit-urls ()
  "Remove the newlines that some other mailers insert into URLs."
  (interactive)
  (save-excursion
    (let ((buffer-read-only nil))
      (goto-char (point-min))
      (while (re-search-forward
	      "\\(\\(<URL:\\)?\\s-*\\(https?\\|ftp\\)://\\S-+\\)\\s-*\n\\(\\S-+\\)" nil t)
	(replace-match "\\1\\4" t))))
    (gnus-article-add-buttons t))

it would be even better if the alist (or something) were used for both.
