With a <space> in it, it was broken by the typist, even before Yahoo
got to work on it. I wonder if even the humble dash is a good idea,
since it might be construed by some editor or email client as an
invitation to word-wrap - though IIRC, Eudora copes with URLs
which it has wrapped itself but not those in quotes already wrapped.

Much easier for all if spaces and other URL-invalid characters
are not used in directory names or filenames.

Then URLs are less ugly and thus easier to type and verify.
Shorter, too, since an escape sequence turns one character into
three, making a line break more likely.
