Nice article. It's great to see some genuinely positive press out there, even if it is a little light on the details. ;) For those who are getting a 404, make sure you have that 'l' on the end of your link - it was wrapped and broken in my viewer (Thunderbird) as you can see above. -- - EricAnderton at yahoo

Jon Erickson has always been supportive of D, and has always been very nice to me and easy to work with.

No. Stupid web-interface. For example, RFC 3676 states: """If faced with such a word which exceeds 78 characters (but less than 998 characters, the [SMTP] limit on line length), the agent SHOULD send the word as is and exceed the 78-character limit on line length.""" -- /Oskar

For what it's worth, Thunderbird breaks up the link as well. Drives me crazy. Sean

Thunderbird line wrapping is configurable. See Tools/Options.../Composition/General/Wrap plain text messages at _ characters.

For the record, start with Edit/Preferences on Linux. Also, I think this isn't Thunderbird's fault; it looks like it was posted that way. (And for the pedantic: the OP has 'User-Agent: PHP News Reader v2.6.4 (CDSHEEN)' in its headers so I'm pretty sure it wasn't Thunderbird ;) )

Why would a program need to be "configured" just to do the right thing? That's just wrong.

It doesn't need to be configured. Thunderbird does the right thing by default. No matter what column you set your Thunderbird to wrap at, it will not break URLs or other long words. The OP used the PHP news reader interface and that interface did the wrong thing and broke the link when posting the message. Thunderbird has no way of knowing that that wasn't intended. /Oskar
