[stylist] A possible fix for Donna and others

Tue Jan 24 20:13:17 UTC 2012

Brad,
Thanks. I used Eudora years ago, but it crashed on me too much. I wonder if
it converts all incoming e-mails to html.

I'll have to try that trick with burying it in the<> signs. There's no line
break in my .doc of the URLs, and I checked a recent outgoing e-mail to see
if it had a line break and it didn't, but I'll continue to investigate.
Donna

Donna,

Raising my hand as one of them getting in html 
and having no issue with links. Though I need to 
clarify, that I did have issue with your original 
link. It appeared  over two lines. The top half 
as a link and bottom not, of course the link part 
was not complete so it failed, but I just copied 
both lines and pasted it in my browser. Now, one 
more thing. I am using Eudora, not Outlook so not 
sure if that is  making any difference. One thing 
I'll do if I have a real long web address and I 
suspect it to carry over to another line, and 
perhaps fail, is to do one of these 
<http://www.braddunsemusic.com/>Click Here type 
links where the url is buried in the text.

Hope that helps.

Brad
