If the thread is locked, it's never going to be posted to the list anyway. I'm not sure of the details of the locking system, but I inferred from Michael's post last week that the sender gets some sort of notification. >> Suggestion #2 would be integrated link shortening and logging, via and >> xml syntax, sort of like Evolt's tip system. Something like: >> <link desc="fuzzy koala's threatened by RIAA">somehugelink</link> JvD> Just use an email client that doesn't wrap them on sending. The problem is receiving wrapped links, not sending them. Besides, I do use a client that doesn't wrap. I'm fairly certain that most people wont change their email clients because of an issue like wrapping though. The idea was that links could be logged as a sort of blog type link logger. It would be interesting to have a page that showed all of the links posted in the last few weeks with optional descriptions. Finding a link I know someone, or even myself posted a few months ago is nearly impossible if I can't recall something the post it came through in, 6 months down the line. Regarding the reliability, I see your point. Perhaps leave this up to the poster? Since many of the longer links tend to be dynamic pages of some sort, they will probably change, and permanence isn't really an issue. Modifying the syntax to have an optional shorten keyword would work. <link desc="fuzzy koala's threatened by RIAA" shorten>somehugelink</link> -- jon mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ______________________________________________________________________ Your ad could be here.
