I second that... and after you cut and paste you might have to manually
remove the space (ASCII 0x20) character from the URL.

This seems like a great time to plug Mailing List Etiquette!
Specifically, consider using a URL-shortening service like
http://snipr.com when sending long (>70 character) URLs since mailing
list messages are often propagated in plain text and wrapped somewhere
around 72 characters.

Please see the mifos.org instructions for mailing list etiquette
( http://tinyurl.com/2do56p ). I've reproduced them here for your
convenience (suggestions for improvements welcome):

The following guidelines are designed to facilitate effortless
communication on the Mifos mailing lists. Please be a considerate list
citizen and abide by them!

      * quote only the relevant portion of the email to which you are
        replying, then post your response below the quoted text
      * post in plain text, not HTML
      * don't attach files larger than 10 kilobytes. Host them somewhere
        else and provide a link to the download. It is also a good idea
        to include a secure hash like an SHA-1 checksum of the file so
        others will know the content was not tampered with. The
        command-line program "sha1sum" works fine for this for this
        purpose.
      * shorten long hyperlinks using a service like TinyURL or Snipr. 
      * see netiquette and ESR's advice on asking smart questions for
        more ideas on proper etiquette
