Just for the record, Flickr URLs have been problematic for Gmail users, because Gmail sometimes interprets the numbers at the end as a phone number, and tries to make that portion a link to dial the number, instead of making an HTTP link from the whole URL. (It didn't happen to me for the particular URL above, but I have seen it on other, similar Flickr links.) -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
