        From: Willard McCarty <willard.mccarty@mccarty.org.uk>
        Subject: lengthy URLs?

This is to seek best advice on how to handle long URLs in e-mail
notes, such as Humanist sent out in the previous message. Should they
be 'broken' in order to accommodate the margin(s) set by subsequent
programs or,  as I just chose, left unbroken? Would it always be
best to enclose URLs in angle-brackets
or left without them?

It's extra trouble, but my own preference would be to use an online
service (such as tinyurl.com) to shorten very long URLs. But perhaps
this is to depend too much on the longevity of such services?

Some wisdom from better informed experience than mine would be welcome.

Yours,
WM
