Re: is v.4.2.42 truncated urls in the body?
Hello Thomas and everyone else who tried to assist. The link is invalid because it has now expired. The platform developer blames TB and TB has not been able to solve it or acknowledge there is even a problem. So on it goes ad infinitum. The fact that the problem is not present when I read the link as a plain text webmail, proves that the link is not tampered with until it is received by TB. The AV does alter it. Using the unique matematical entity of part; does not help things either. I set the character set translatioon to UTF-8 only and in plain text view mode. What else can I do except start getting email for this operation only on webmail and then manually downloading it after the link is used?

Further to that, TB is one of the few email clients that can be 100% trusted (in plain text view) not to change anything in the message body. If there is tampering with the URL, it is being down by a routing MTA (transit mail server) or by an anti-virus message scourer. TB has faults, but this is not one of them. -- Cheers -- Marck D Pearlstone -- List moderator and fellow end user TB! v5.0.6 on Windows 7 6.1.7600 ' pgpblbhD79PvR.pgp Description: PGP signature Current version is 4.2.42 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
