Someone on another list also reported a bounce from coollist in
the last week.

Maybe it did go down briefly....

I have successfully used Arachne to send messages containing URL
lines of up to about 150 characters.

The difficult part is getting the URL into the message in one
piece, particularly if you're using the external editor.

And with the internal editor, there seems to be a limit in the
length of a line that CLIP.TMP can handle. Sometimes when I'm
trying to copy a long URL from the history to the body of a
message, it gets chopped.
