A suggestion:

How about a url or link box in each message?

I am not a programmer and thus I don't know if my proposal is monumental,
heresy, impractical, or unnecessary.  My suggestion is merely an idea to
address the "wrap" problems in messages.  If there was a dedicated field
where there were different "margins", would this solve or create problems?

Just as there are boxes for Lugnet .groups and topic headers... Would it be
possible to add a dedicated box for urls/links to the "post a message" and
"reply" options?  That way, a space is "built in" to each post for the
insertion of a url.  If a person does not wish to include a web address,
then the field is left empty and no link appears in the posted message
(either at the top or end of a message).

I don't know if my suggestion is a simple add-on or a colossal code
challenge.  I think enough market messages and discussion group updates
focus on urls to merit considering my suggestion.  If there was a seperate
box or field away from the body text, would that solve some of these issues.

If a person wanted to post multiple urls, maybe this field would allow that
as well.
