I deal with very long links, or long lists of links where the context is lost, by opening the message in elinks, and then using elinks' option to pass a link or current URL to an external application or command, if elinks can't deal with it itself. That way it's possible to copy the URL into /tmp/screen-exhange, then do something in screen. -- Government spending? I don't know what it's all about.
