[LM_NET] SHARE: Sharing long URLs

[Barbara Braxton <barbara.288@BIGPOND.COM>]

Often the URL you send breaks into segments in transmission and the receiver needs 
to copy and paste
it rather than being able to click on it.  And this happens no matter how many 
times you send your
message.  Knowing that TinyURL and similar services are blocked by many, a friend 
has shown that if
you enclose the url with < and > it does not break and remains clickable.  

Here is an example ...
This will probably break 
http://books.google.com/books?id=Ry91PgAACAAJ&dq=australian+backyard+explorer

But enclosed it will stay together.  
<http://books.google.com/books?id=Ry91PgAACAAJ&dq=australian+backyard+explorer>

Just something to tuck away, and perhaps prevent multiple messages and frustration..
