Hmm.  I wonder if a confirm/preview page on the web
interface would help this as well as problems of
forgetting or forgetting to test links.  The preview would
show the article in a monospace font (not in the "All"
view-mode of the web interface) but with
hyperlink-detection activated for testing prior to final
posting.

If you want to be really nice, you can make the script
generating the preview page check the URL's, and mark those
that return an error status in a distinct colour.

Play well,

Jacob (one of the really lazy guys)

(...) Ya, Agreed. At the time the "Brief" view-mode was conjured up, there were relatively few messages going by with garbled line-endings, and it didn't show up much at all. People seem to be getting a lot more lazy these days about cleaning up (...) (25 years ago, 24-Mar-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
