Any mailer which inserts a hard line break in the middle of a continuous
string is broken, regardless, whether this is an URI, or not. Most
applications today are URI-aware, recognizing and offering a choice of
action on a particularly formatted string. By inserting a line break you
make it impossible to decide whether the line below belongs to the URI, or
not. So, what do *you* do with a wrapped earl?

A double offense. And an indication that technology frequently does
advance -- in the retrograde direction.
