There is no point in *me* trying this. I have no trouble to speak of in

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

The above URL you posted is clickable - even though it takes three
lines. No problems here.

The problem is not with you or me or everyone. It is with quite a few
people. I know I said I don't care about the google representation, but
it is a remarkable thing that my long urls and even your previous
example one is broken up there.

I can see it is not just my own settings causing it now (so this is
useful info for me). Take a look:

<http://groups.google.com.au/group/comp.sys.mac.apps/browse_frm/thread/07
242f2e001525d4/f3432ae02d8a7ad1?hl=en#f3432ae02d8a7ad1>

In my Safari at least it is broken up.

Yes, it's broken up. But the newsreader (including Google Groups) is
supposed to put it back together. That's the point of wrapping it in
<...>, it tells the newsreader where the URL begins and ends, so it can
join the lines together.

I don't know if it will help, but I notice that you're running a pretty
old version of MT-NW. Maybe try upgrading and see if it changes how
MT-NW wraps things.

As far as I can tell, the only preference options about wrapping is
whether or not to wrap, and the column to wrap at. There's nothing
about exceptions for URLs.
