Finally, URL line wrapping is a well-understood problem, with a recommended practice (namely, enclosing URLs in text inside <>, as I did above) codified in the current URL RFC. Every email and usenet client I am aware of does the right thing with line-wrapped URLs in angle brackets.
FWIW, the above long URL is apparently not clickable here (Mozilla 1.6) due to wrapping. Quoting it in a message (as in this one) will likely reduce the number of clients which detect the URL. I tend to ignore non-clickable URLs. I guess other people ignore them, too. Regards, m
