Well, it seems to alleviate A Williams's problem with his email client confusing the link as a "file." Secondly, it removes a step at the web server - prevents it having to do a redirect. I always add a slash after the TLD if I'm only linking to a domain name or a directory. See: <http://webdesign.about.com/od/beginningtutorials/f/why-urls-end-in- slash.htm> If you send a link to a specific page, do not add a slash. http://example.com/subdir/thispage.html gets NO slash. -- -bts -This space for rent, but the price is high _______________________________________________ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
