You need to take out the carriage returns and excess spaces from the URL
pasted into the message. Netscape 1.X would automatically clean this up
on the Macintosh along with QuickMail Express and QuickMail Pro from CE
software also have automatic fixes in Macintosh and Windows for TCP/IP
POP e-mail systems. Netscape 3.X and who knows if Netscape 4.X will
handle long URL(s) with embedded spaces and carriage returns like the
old versions did so elegantly.

This is over wrapped and will fail Netscape 3.X without manual intervention:
