I haven't seen a URL parser that can deal properly with line breaks in the middle of a URL... UNLESS that URL was wrapped with some kind of delimiter. I'll guess that if you resend the URL, but wrap it inside angle brackets (< and >) then it will probably work even after being line split. Angle brackets seem to be the delimter of choice (probably because they are used in HTML, so most URL parsers know what to do with them already) ie: <http://www.mythtech.net> -chris <http://www.mythtech.net> ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe send a mail message with a SUBJECT line of "unsubscribe" to <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> or <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
