Firefox. An increasing number of pages show
up with partially blank content. If you're not
familiar with webpage coding it's hard to explain.
HTML specifies something like an image. CSS can
be used to specify details like position and border.
Sometimes CSS is used to hide content which is
then only made visible via script. I'm not sure
why. So with script routinely disabled, I sometimes
see missing items. But the if I also disable CSS then
I just get the basic HTML and it works.

Undoubtedly more than you care to know. It's
part of the increasing complication of protecting
privacy and security online.

It has nothing to do with OE, which works quite
well for Usenet. And there's no reason to put
brackets around a link. It serves no purpose and
does not conform with any kind of HTML standard.
But it's not a big deal, as I said. I just prefer not to
click links in the post.... Don't ask.


Perhaps you should do some research, and read the following:
" The angle-bracket "" and "" and double-quote (") characters are
excluded because they are often used as the delimiters around URI in
text documents and protocol fields. The character "#" is excluded
because it is used to delimit a URI from a fragment identifier in URI
references (Section 4). The percent character "%" is excluded because
it is used for the encoding of escaped characters.

delims = "" | "" | "#" | "%" | ""

Which is found he

....and why would the above clickable URL contained, and delimited by
angle-brackets be less secure than the undelimited version below?
