Internet link

When there is an Internet link in an Outlook or Outlook Express mail or
Usenet message, the link is shown in blue. The other text is in the color I
choose, usually black.

My browser (Mozilla Firefox 1.5.0.8) doesn't open from e-mail and Usenet
messages unless the URL (Internet address) is on one line in such a message.
Therefore, the browser cannot open up long URLs unless I cut and paste.

How would I get a long link to open from such a message?

Thank you,

Barry Karas

OE breaks the links and you have to repair them.

If the link arrives broken, that's the way it is. It has nothing to do with
what browser you sue. You don't get the choice to open it directly. You have
to cut and paste the pieces together.

Or ask your correspondents to use a tool like TinyURL (http://tinyurl.com/)
to give you a shorter URL you can click directly.

Or even "use." ;-)

Sorry for the typo.
