You know, I’ve always been a bit mystified whenever anyone makes note of that. :-) I realize you said it to be helpful, Teddy, and I do appreciate the concern. More often, it’s from someone complaining. But doesn’t it happen so often that people should just realize they need to join the two lines? :-)
I will note that I did a blog entry some years ago on a feature that one might be able to use in such a case, by surrounding the URL in brackets (<>), which some clients would honor as meaning to keep the URL together. I didn’t find it always worked, though, so I stopped worrying about it (for the reasons above): http://tipicalcharlie.blog-city.com/avoid_url_break_in_email.htm Let’s test it here: <http://www.carehart.org/blog/client/index.cfm/2006/8/8/checking_jdbc_driver_version> And for any interested, I counted and see that this broke below at 76 chars. I looked in Outlook (my email client) and sure enough, it has a feature that sets that count (tools>options>mail format>message format>internet format>plain text options>automatically wrap text at). It’s set to 76. I would wonder, if I increased that, if it might cause some readers to get email that would have regular paragraphs run off the right of the screen. :-) /charlie From: ad...@acfug.org [mailto:ad...@acfug.org] On Behalf Of Teddy R.

Here's a blog entry I did on 3 ways to find info on the version of DB drivers being used by CF, varying based on what level of access you have to the server: http://www.carehart.org/blog/client/index.cfm/2006/8/8/checking_jdbc_driver_ version They're focused on getting info on the built-in CF drivers, but they may help. /charlie ------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, manage your profile @ http://www.acfug.org?fa=login.edituserform For more info, see http://www.acfug.org/mailinglists Archive @ http://www.mail-archive.com/discussion%40acfug.org/ List hosted by http://www.fusionlink.com -------------------------------------------------------------
