If looked, the long url is perfectly fine, on one line and clickable. So the mailing list doesn't break anything, neither does does my mail client. Having said that, tinyurl might actually make live easier for some people (e.g. those who should get a decent mail client), I don't 'hate' them. But please at least also include the original url. These mails are archived and both the email and the linked page may outlive the tinyurl service. You might end up loosing usefull information there. AVee -- AMAZING BUT TRUE ...
