Ed, I agree with your entry. I am puzzled though. I believe the
last time we went through this discussion that if the sender puts
the "<" (beginning and a ">" at the end everything should work.
Was that not true or only in some cases?
I thought I had followed that advice when I posted the long URL.
My apologies to the group if I did not. I did go into my sent
email box and the left and right "<>" signs were there (when it
left here).
With an email client that understands hwo to properly handle URLs,
no extra effort is required. You simply post in the URL -- whether
long or short -- and it is not wrapped. For example, this should
(hopefully) not wrap:
http://searchdatacenter.techtarget.com/tip/
0,289483,sid80_gci1280330,00.html?
track=NL-576&ad=611332&asrc=EM_NLT_2483474&uid=279318
Manually adding extraneous characters before and after a URL might
confuse even the "smartest" email client.
Ed J:
OK I will do so from now on but will take your word as definitive. I
will no longer put the <> per your authority.
