Although you can copy and paste a web address into an email, if it's long and splits across two lines, usually only the top line is underlined and gets pasted when you try to copy it into your web browser.
I have two ways to deal with a split address. When I see that it's split across two lines, I copy the part on the second line before clicking on the underlined part. If I don't get the desired page, I then click on the address in the browser, then hit "end", "^v", "enter". If that doesn't work, I copy both lines into whatever text-writing program is open -- usually a draft message in my mail reader -- splice them back together, then cut and paste into the browser. Of course, if some characters have been dropped at the break, neither method will work, but it is often possible to deduce what the characters should have been and supply them before splicing the URL back together. -- Joy Beeson http://joybeeson.home.comcast.net/ http://roughsewing.home.comcast.net/ http://n3f.home.comcast.net/ -- Writers' Exchange http://www.timeswrsw.com/craig/cam/ (local weather) west of Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A. where the snow is melting, but it's still safe to walk on the lakes. - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
