Good, but not quite good enough...long URLs like this sometimes get broken by line breaks in email messages...but there's a trick to keep this from happening:

When pasting a longish URL into email, enclose it in a pair of "<" ">" angle brackets viz.:

http://ebay.com/<blah erid=smwillis&include=0&since=30&sort=3&rows=200>

That will make it stay clickable, at least in Eudora, and probably in most other email programs.
