Where?
And speaking of needing help, could you *please* fix your setup so
that your posts come out properly? Your mail/news client (Microsoft
Outlook Express 6.00.2900.5512) is really screwing them up; it puts
*everything* in the post below your reply into the sig, which means
that only your reply (above) gets quoted when you reply to one of
your postings.
Huh? There are extraneous spaces, but replies below the sig, I can't
confirm.

A meta-post: qu estion came up recently here about how ne
wsreaders (the
softwar e you're usi ng to read this po st) h andle l ong
URL s, like this one:
http://sol utions.3m.com/wps/portal/3M/en_
W/CorrosionProtection/Home

I'm using Thunderbird which preserves long URLs without
splitting them,
unlike what I call "brain-damaged" news clients like Outlook
Express,
which splits and otherwise mangles them. This makes them
useless for
clicking on, requiring the reader to copy and paste the
pieces back
together; pain in the ass.
But this is on the sending end. The question is whether such
links get
split up when they're read.
If your newsreader splits this URL, could you post here and
say what
your newsreader is?
And what about Google Groups readers? I assume that GG
preserves such
links, but don't know for sure.

Personally, I like Vista, but I probably won't use it. I
like it
because it generates considerable business for me in
consulting and
upgrades. As long as there is hardware and software out
there that
doesn't work, I stay in business. Incidentally, my company
motto is
"If this stuff worked, you wouldn't need me".
