   But that's just a kluge[1], as you well know. A well-behaved news or   
   mail client doesn't mangle URLs in the first place. It should not take   
   the absence of <> to mean "oh, it's OK to break up this word into little   
   bitty pieces arbitrarily".   
      
      
   [1] Not kludge or cludge, which rhyme with "fudge"; the word rhymes with   
   "luge".   
      
      
   --   
   You were wrong, and I'm man enough to admit it.
