That's confusing two separate issues. Resizing the window is the wrong way to achieve optimum line length for readability - you might as well tell newspapers to supply papers one column wide. Forcing a link to remain a link when it wraps is a different problem and is about finding a way for the reader to recognise it as a link. Someone else mentioned wrapping links in <>. I didn't know that the purpose of that was to prevent readers from breaking links up, and I will start using it - it's a lot easier than going to tinyurl.com. My email client is MS Outlook 2003. I can't work out how to set it up with format=flowed. As soon as I figure that out I will set it up.
