The Yahoo Mail website. Most of the time it handles linking URLs just fine. Putting <> brackets at the ends always works, at least until the URL gets run through some other client that uses hard line breaks. But for ftp:// URLs, Yahoo _always_ thinks the last trailing character, even a >, is part of the URL. I've contacted Yahoo about the bug many times. Apparently they don't care about their bugs. :P For charachters other than > at the end of a http:// URL, Yahoo make it part of the hyperlink. I just highlight, Ctrl C, open a new browser window, Paste then delete the last character that Yahoo isn't smart enough to know shouldn't be part of the link. Software bugs are annoying, but SIMPLE bugs that should be easy for a programmer to correct yet are left in through multiple revisions are downright infuriating. :P Makes me want to grab the programmer by his or her shirt and scream FIX THIS NOW! DON'T ADD ANY MORE "FEATURES" UNTIL YOU DO! ;) ===== Subatomic conspiracy group: The Free Mesons. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful.
