Just a little goofing on the recent thread on Lou being "famous". Everyone
here likes Lou, me included, no insult intended.

We've been through his before - it doesn't work for all mail servers. I don't know why. My server, for instance, wraps lines in a way that breaks URLs even if they are between < and > as you can see in the URL above.
If any web guru can tell us how to fix this for good it would save a lot of heartache -- OK it would just save a lot of copying-and-pasting, but that would be something, no?
The one thing that always works is to keep the URL short enough to not wrap.
