To Keith and whoever is feeling particularly geeky at the moment:
Here's a simple solution to long links that break. It usually works, but
not always. I'm not sure what the reason is for the occasional problems.
But it works most of the time, so I haven't been motivated to look into it
further. So here it is:
Type (or paste) your link in between "<" and >" brackets, just like html
tags. When you are composing an email and you finish typing the link inside
the brackets, your email program will automatically recognize the "tag" that
you have inserted. It will automatically turn on the link and get rid of
the brackets.
Example:
"<http://www.reading.org/Publish.aspx?page=/publications/journals/rrq/v44/i3/abstracts/rrq-44-3-mckeown.html&mode=redirect>"
-- which didn't turn into a link because I surrounded it in quotation
marks -- becomes
http://www.reading.org/Publish.aspxpage=/publications/journals/rrq/v44/i3/abstracts/rrq-44-3-mckeown.html&mode=redirect
Pretty simple?

Subject: Re: [MOSAIC] URL Problems
In looking at the URL that I sent I'm seeing that for some reason the link
may include the "period" as part of the URL. A period at the end of a URL
that becomes part of the URL will cause it to fail.
I'm not sure what causes this as I see three places where the link works
fine, but then just one instance where it includes the "period" at the end
of the link.
The original link was very long and divided up into 2-3 lines. Only the
first line showed the link. This required people to copy and paste the
link
and then copy and paste additional lines.

(above is ONE URL divided up into 3 lines - it will likely fail for
everyone)
The lesson for all of us it to be careful when posting longs URL's. Also
try
not to put a "period" at the end of a URL as this can cause problems for
people.
http://sn.im/rethinkingcomp (no period - should work fine for all)
http://sn.im/rethinkingcomp. (period after URL - will not work for some
members)
Also if a link doesn't work for you, try taking a quick look at the email
and look for additional URL "tidbits" on additional lines. Also see if a
"bad" URL has a period at the end of the URL.

I've seen a couple requests from members on this article. The URL was
"garbled" in the post.
If you couldn't get the complete link:
Try http://sn.im/rethinkingcomp. If you have any problem with the URL
please
contact me directly.

I have a copy of the article and am reading it now. I am in the process of
contacting IRA and see if I can get temporary permission to post it on the
tools page. I am an IRA member so we will see.
