Is there a way to set the preferences in Mt-NewsWatcher so that people
who read my posts do not complain about the urls being not easily usable
(because they wrap and split)? As far as I see, no setting for line wrap
solves the problem if the url is very long. While setting no wrap at all
causes one to be typing and having to manually put in carriage returns.

I expect to have to pull them out and paste them into a browser anyway,
meaning cleaning up spaces, when I want to use one someone else has
posted. I can only click to them from mail. Is there actually an
alternative?

If you wrap them in < and > characters, most news clients can visit
them.

In MT-NewsWatcher, you need to hold down the Command key while clicking
URLs.

Try this one:

<http://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/industries/media/article/justice-depa
rtment-gives-siriusxm-merger-ok_530362_15.html>

There is no point in *me* trying this. I have no trouble to speak of in
this regard. It is some readers of my posts, and competent ones too -
not newbies or google groupers.

The issue is about others getting usable clickable urls from me.

Perhaps JR, I can refer you to a thread where this has come up:

<http://groups.google.com.au/group/comp.infosystems.www.authoring.stylesh
eets/browse_frm/thread/fdc50b37ec576398/140ffafa5669cb75?hl=en#140ffafa56

I notice that in Google, all my constructions break up and are useless
for simple clicking. But I do not refer you to this thread because it
has *anything to do with google*. I am not interested in google. Long
time and competent people with good newsreaders have mentioned this
problem to me. I refer you to it to see the sorts of things I have
tried. I have for a long time been enclosing the urls in the lesser and
greater sign.

Perhaps I need to compare my preference settings with some of you guys?
I do talk a lot to non-Mac people (what can I do, they are not all bad!
And there are a lot of them! <g>)
