Mike and Nate,

Almost every URL that is posted with "http" in front get duplicated,
regardless of the "<" and ">" characters.

To prevent that, simply delete the "http-colon-slash-slash" and begin the
URL with "www" and enclose the entire URL in "<" and ">" characters.  The
"http-colon-slash-slash" is unnecessary and causes some email clients to
return a duplicate.

A Tiny URL is an easy way to avoid broken links due to word wrap.

The word wrap broke the link above. Try

.html
<http://www.repeater-builder.com/ge/mastr2/ts-64-mastr2-mod/ts-64-mastr2-mod
.html> >

Hint to all: Bracket any emailed links with "<" and ">" characters
and properly written email clients will handle them properly.

It's all part of RFC1738, which defines the syntax of a URL.
