RE: The Top 10 Best Technical Documentation Sites of 2010

[<Brian -dot- Henderson -at- mitchell1 -dot- com>]

Broken URLs are a result line-wrapping in plain text email.
In HTML formatted messages, the URLs still work even when they wrap.

I don't know enough to say whether or not the code underlying plain text
messages could be "fixed" to allow them to work when wrapped. My guess
would be that nobody will consider it worthwhile.

If a longer link is broken by an email program, it's a bug, and shorter
URL services are just workarounds until either the sender's or
recipient's email software is fixed. I have some sympathy for the
"they're ugly" school of thought, but I'll take informative URLs over
attractive ones with mystery destinations any day. But if this extension
works out, I guess I don't have to care anymore.
