Yeah. I usually remember to use them. Perhaps I missed this time?
But it also does depend on whether the specific newsreader at the
other end parses them properly across a line wrap, and I suspect some
don't -- which is why I prefer to offer tinyURL as an option if I'm
aware of a potential line wrap problem when posting.


Cheers, Phred.
