Maybe this is a useful info: I've noticed some people just copy&paste groups.google addresses when giving references to threads. Well, maybe that's just laziness; if not that, it can be useful to know that much of the information in the url is actually not strictly necessary: e.g. given
>http://groups.google.com/groups?q=is_abstract_class&hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UT >F-8&selm=df893da6.0207110613.75b2fe90%40posting.google.com&rnum=1). you can cut off everything after ? except the message ID (selm or threadm parameter): http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=df893da6.0207110613.75b2fe90%40posting.google.com Of course you can avoid "http://"; too, and if that's still too long to fit in one line you can even put it in the form google.com/groups?selm=df893da6.0207110613.75b2fe90%40posting.google.com which makes it generally short enough (though not in this case :-)) It's obvious that this are just things I've noticed by experimenting so it's always better checking whether the link does work after all the pruning :-) Genny. _______________________________________________ Unsubscribe & other changes: http://lists.boost.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/boost
