Personally, I would prefer to have to handle split line URLs than use
tinyurl - putting both in would satisfy me...I think it is Make A

If you put the ULR in brackets http://joe.bloggs most readers should
cope with split lines.

They should indeed. and happily mine does :-)

But I believe a certain very common program doesn't like to follow such
accepted standards so it's users have to suffer these problems......
