So, using html email this problem is overcome by hiding the
overly long url in the source code; but, then, there are those
who complain about html email, or, use inferior mail readers
that don't have a clue how to read html.

Subject: [Mailman-Users] A long URL - 2
lines - second line is not clickable.
Hi, I am using Mailman 2.0.6-1 and
Sendmail-8.11.6-3. My users are complaining about the line wrap
problem when send mailing mail to the mail list with a long URL. It
seems line wraps text lines that are longer than 80 characters with no
white-space. If you include a long URL in a email message it usually
gets split onto separate lines and the typical email reader within BCA
(exchange) marks the first part of the link as clickable when usually
it isn't. People have to paste the whole link back together manually
in a web browser input dialog to get it to work.
First, I thought it
maybe a Sendmail problem. So I tried send a mail via Sendmail with a long
URL and it appears to be fine. The long URL did split into two lines,
and the second line is still highlighted as a href link, so there was no
problem. By clicking the link, the browser would bring up the correct
information.
However, sending an email to the mail list is a
different problem.
For example, http://labtest.ca.boeing.com/~psim/NewRtPlatform/test_plate_form_notes.07_18 _02.html
will show up with 2 lines and the second line would be ml and wouldn't be
highlighted as part of the URL that is clickable.
Any
clue?
Thanks for any help. We had this problem for about a
year. I finally got a chance to look into it now.
