Ah, dumb Windows programs, probably. I just copy and paste by hand.
By mouse, actually, but you know what I mean.
And actually, SecureCRT can launch a URL when I see one displayed in a
SSH session (usually while reading news with slrn), but since I often
have multiple browser windows open and I never can tell which one it
will launch it in, I usually choose to copy it, open a new browser,
and paste it in.

| (...) Well, if you have to type in the URL by hand, or cut & paste it by hand, then yes. But many modern newsreaders display a hyperlink to click on, and very few of these are smart enough to know when to remove the trailing punctuation. :) --Todd (26 years ago, 25-Apr-99, to lugnet.market.buy-sell-trade)
