You can include the original URL for searching, or in case tinyurl goes away, but include a tinyurl to the same resource for convenience (and not linebreaking). --Dethe ___ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig

Better yet, use a URL-shortening service like tinyurl.com. I've got the following javascript snippet in a bookmark in Safari's bookmark bar: javascript:void(location.href='http://tinyurl.com/create.php?url='+location.href) For whatever page you're looking at, a click on that will take you to a page that gives you a tinyurl equivalent of your big-ass URL. -- // jack ___ Pythonmac-SIG maillist - Pythonmac-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/pythonmac-sig
