It helps, when posting website addresses, to surround them with < and > and no spaces between the angle brackets and the address. That tells most email programs it's a live link and the whole thing between the < and the > is part of it. If spaces are accidently added, they have to be taken out to make the web address valid.
That being said, some email programs can't deal with an address that is too long and so breaks from one line to another. In that case, the < and > are still helpful, because they enclose everything that has to be copied and pasted into the browser address window. IOW, no dangling f's :) And some people advocate using <http://tinyurl.com/> Personally I don't much like it for 'regular' kinds of links because if something is wrong you don't have any part of the original website's address to work from to figure out where it is. But it's great for links to sites like major newspapers and news services like CNN. They always seem to have LONG addresses that don't make much sense. Holly
