Subject: A general tip on posting URLs
<SNIP>
If you remember to add < and > both before and after the URL, it
will hang together, thus:
<http://www.applefritter.com/cgi-bin/YaBB/
YaBB.pl?board=powercc;action=display;num=1044807145>
regardless of the line length set by your e-mailer and regardless of
which e-mailer you use.
It's just a nagging detail, but it does help everyone, especially the
newbies (and the oldies, whose memory is slipping) who ask such
questions.

Such a shame that this does NOT work .........
Anyone got a better idea ?

(using outlook 2K)
I wrote an Applescript implemented with cmscript which splices URLs
back together
-- start script
on open (thetext)
try
set olddelim to AppleScript's text item delimiters
repeat with aletter in {return, space, ">"}
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to aletter
set thetext to every text item of thetext as text
end repeat
if not text 1 thru 7 of thetext = "http://"; then
set thetext to "http://"; & thetext
end if
open location thetext with error reporting
on error errMsg
display dialog errMsg buttons {"OK"} default button 1
end try
end open
--end script
