[Sigia-l] Alternatives to long string URLs for e-mail linking

[Vaughn Fox]

I'm using Outlook 2002.  The link still will not work unless the URL is
prefixed by a space.

I still feel strongly that people should follow RFC 1738 and write
<URL:http://my.url> in mail.  Microsoft Outlook Express doesn't implement
RFC 1738 and does not recognize a URL unless it's immediately prefixed by a
space. <URL: http://my.url > is a compromise of correctness and being nice
to Outlook users.  I vaguely remember being told that this was fixed some
time ago on new versions of Outlook.  Does anybody know anything more exact?
