A quick way for me is to reply to the email and remove the EOL characters
and click on the link.

Also, some mail programs will wrap the line by inserting an EOL. When you
copy the URL to the browser you either lose the end of the line (anything
after the EOL doesn't get copied to the clipboard for some reason) or you
end up with a control character in the URL - thereby messing up your
browser so it complains (navigation error)

OK, I'll bite and assume this is a genuine question and not a leg-pull,
since
nobody else seems to have answered it.
Many mail programs will automatically turn a URL into a hot-spot so you can
open
the URL directly from email.  However if the URL is long enough to wrap
over
more than one line, usually only the first line is turned into the
hot-spot, so
if you click on it it won't work because it's missing part of the URL.
"Watch the word wrap" just means that if the URL is longer than one line,
you
may need to cut and paste it into your browser.  Otherwise the mailing list
gets
clogged up with comments like "but this URL doesn't work for me"...

I was going to make some smart comment about word wrap being encapsulation
of
words in sentences, but I'm a bit too braindead to think it out properly...

OK, I've tried not to ask this for a long time but it's really starting to
drive me crazy!!! what is this "word wrap". Whenever I go to cisco's site
from a post like this I try to look for something unusual, hoping that it
will be this "word wrap". But I haven't seen it yet. Could someone please
fill me in...
