Meta: long-link test for your news reader
A meta-post: question came up recently here about how newsreaders (the
software you're using to read this post) handle long URLs, like this one: http://solutions.3m.com/wps/portal/3...1 3QRJVC6DLgl 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". - lifted from sci.electronics.repair |
