I did a bit of digging. Possibly the reason I've never seen this with NN 4.x
in Win95 before is because all of the forms I used for pasting long URLs into
there were forms using WRAP=NONE. (I'm not sure how WRAP=NONE differs from
WRAP=OFF, I'll have to go look at the HTML 3.2 specs...)

I guess MSIE was just trying to do its best to break your "word" at the most
logical spot. It didn't know it was a URL. :)
