Seeesh! Why should he bother? He can send long URLs without first wrapping them. I clicked on it and it worked. You can even send wrapped URLs if you enclose them in and characters, like you should. I corrected the quoted URL that way. It doesn't work in some news clients when it's already chopped up. So I re-fixed it. -- john mcwilliams |

news:8fa06$4b7485c7 [] I like to see what kind of link I'm going to click on. So I don't bother clicking on shortened links. -- Regards, Robert http://www.arumes.com Seconded! But it someone posts both the full and a short-form link, I don't object. Short-form link only, I pass by. David |

No, they don't. Official URL-formatting supports line breaks. If your reader can't handle them, your reader is the problem. http://www.arumes.com/temp/link.png -- Regards, Robert http://www.arumes.com |

What happened to 'be conservative in what you send and liberal in what you receive'? Since when do you care? Your messages may have a thin layer of supposed politeness, but the tone beneath that layer isn't exactly conservative. Would you like your camera or RAW converter to produce legal TIFF files that happen to be unusable for photoshop or whatever you use these TIFFs for? What exactly are "legal TIFF files"? I don't have any objection to the TIFF formats I know. -- Regards, Robert http://www.arumes.com |

If your reader can't handle them, your reader is the problem. http://www.arumes.com/temp/link.png What does that dead (as it's an image) link prove? You deleted the part wherein I said not all clients handle fully broken links. You later cite a five year old RFC, but some of us are talking practicality, as well as what's most useful for the greatest number. Blindly blaming what other readers can or can not do is not helpful. Just because your client can put together badly broken links doesn't mean you cannot format them for the larger number of other readers. -- lsmft |
