 MK> Understood.  That is one reason I am asking how my posts look to you.

quote okay now? 

By now you've seen my reply to that one...  The previous ones,
essentially the same thing was the issue, just that the quote editor
removes the leading spaces, so things just aren't quite like they were
in the original message.  :)

No matter how the overlong URLs come through, I'm not going to be able
to just click on them anyway.  I'd have to either cut-and-paste or
retype if I was going to go look at the site...  :)

  Yeah, I'd think so, too...  :)
