Hi Paul! I have never used a mail reader that can handle wrapped links. This includes OE, Eudora, T-bird and KMail. They all break the link. I generally include both the original link and the tiny if it is my original post. On a reply, sometimes just the tiny. How long does it take to make a tiny, a minute? Is it even a minute? How long does it take to put a broken one back together? I can't do that in a minute. I can do it, but not in a minute. If I don't have time to make a tiny url maybe I don't have time to post in the first place! -- Regards, Pete http://www.pete-theisen.com/ _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
