| (...) Um :) Okay, I guess I can rephrase my question as, how do you avoid breaking a URL across lines? I don't recall doing anything different for the two posts mentioned, except with the 'titanic' URL, I expected it to stay together, and with the (...)

| (...) I might be on(to) something.. (URL) When I try the long-urls in Linux NN, they don't break.. but in my copy of Windows 98, both NN and MSIE break the urls horridly :( Richard (24 years ago, 14-Apr-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

| (...) I avoid it by composing messages in a text editor which doesn't break words across 80-column boundaries. (Or in Netscape Navigator, which doesn't break them either.) --Todd (24 years ago, 14-Apr-00, to lugnet.admin.general)

| (...) Wow, that's horrendously bad (browser bug alert!). Hmm, I never had any trouble with NN 4.x in Win95 breaking lines. What version of NN for Win98 are you running? (Looks like 4.7 from the headers.) MSIE decided to break the line at the hyphen: (...) (24 years ago, 14-Apr-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
