I pasted it into my text editor of choice, Edit Plus, without any
problem. I deleted the original message, so I no longer have the url,
or I would try pasting it into Notepad, but I can't imagine that once
it's in the clipboard it wouldn't paste properly as text into anything
that handles text per se.

Normally I'd agree with you, but my reading of the RFC is that
grabbing the entire link between delimiters wouldn't explicitly
violate it. BTW, even correctly formed subject links (spaces converted
to %20s) aren't properly handled by TB. The subject line still stops
at the first representation of a whitespace character.

I'm also in the 'wary' category until it's been tested, but I can't
think of a scenario where extending the limit would be a problem.
