This is always happening to me too and I have gotten to be quite good
at fixing the URL's that people send with other brands of computers.
My MAC likes to have the URL enclosed in those pointy brackets like
the ones mel has on the List URLS at the top of the mail messages. If
you do that the computer knows that it is all a URl. The way Snails
came through half of it was left off when Iwent to the website so it
didn't work.
There are a couple of other flukey things that come through to me and
those are equal signs at the end of every line and =3D3D put in for a
plain =3Dsign. =3D3D is hexadecimal for =3D so if you see them take out the
3D part and leave the =3D sign.
I still use Eudora and it allows you to make those changes if you
click on the pencil in a square at the top of the posting. Too bad
Apple has dropped support for Eudora and the Power PC... I am going
to have to drop Apple.

Try this:
