Damien reported a similar problem. Now , I suspect
that most list readers know what the problem is, but
for those who don't...
The links below, like Damien's, are (my guess)
identified by the list software--I would guess the
string "http:" that all urls start with is the flag
for the software--and converted automatically to
links. But no more than one line makes it into the
url. If the url is a long one extending more than one
line, you will note that those additional address
elements appear in the subsequent lines neither
underlined nor highlighted in blue. More to the
point, they are not included in the url/address that
will be looked for when you click on the 'apparent'
link. Instead the truncated address will be looked
for and, since it's not a 'real' link, and doesn't
exist, a message announcing that fact will appear on
your browser screen.
Here's the solution to the problem. Copy the part of
the address that has been cut off, and then click on
the link, and then paste the cut off portion back onto
the back end of the address in the address bar, and
then hit the 'enter' key.
