The browser on your phone is broken. Wrapping a URI/URL in angle brackets is a recommended practice (found, amongst other paces, at < http://www.w3.org/Addressing/URL/5.1_Wrappers.html >) This should also work as a way to get to that same URL: < http://www.w3.org/Addressing/ URL/5.1_Wrappers.html > Note that I've tried adding spaces between the wrapper and the URL to see if that helps. Many click-on-a-link applications don't recognise a URL that has been split across multiple lines unless it is enclosed in angle brackets. Your mail client my not automatically split lines, but a lot of them out there do. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
