Many email readers and clients chop url's because of their length. Just 
paste it out, connect it together, and paste into your browser.

Unfortunately, there's no way around this - no one can control the sender's 
method of sending, or any intersecting servers that want to hard-code a 
line ending at x amount of characters.

It's probably a good idea that whenever anyone posts a potentially long 
URL, that they disclaim it with something like "this URL may come across 
split up between lines. Simply connect the multiple pieces together in a 
text editor, then paste in your browser."

Also, it's good practice to put a URL on a separate line, at char "0", to 
reduce the potential of breakage.

Although this is starting to become common knowledge, many people don't 
know about this yet.

While I'm off topic, I found a great utility called Speed Typing

www.colorpilot.com/speed-typing.html

It's free, and it's Windows (sorry, Mac users, unless you know of a similar 
util for OS9/X) and it allows you to substitute short cryptic phrases for 
medium or long ones so you don't have to keep typing them.

So whenever I have to type "Translator", which I habitually type as 
"Tranlsator" because of a baseball injury to my left index finger (don't 
steal third with two outs, please), I just type "TLR" and it automatically 
types out as "Translator."

I use it for words and for multi-paragraph things I wind up saying frequently.

Sorry for the off-topic, cut it here. But it's a real time saver.
