as a test, i believe my email client uses format="Flowed", and i'm also enclosing it in angle brackets, so if your receiving email program is up to snuff, it has two chances to do the right thing with the following URL:

if it's broken, we can probably blame your email client -- most of the popular ones mess up URLs and/or long lines sometimes; but maybe the listserv or one of the many MTAs en route had a hand in it


The text is flowed as it should be. The URL broke at the hyphen, but continued as a continous link, and went to a single line if I widened the window to accomodate it.

Good to know about the angle brackets though. Sometimes I use them, sometimes not. I thought they were just there to draw attention to a URL. Glad to know they serve a purpose.

Thanks Steve!
