Hi, When I quote a Truncated URL I always insert the complete URL first and state " if that wraps, go here" then insert the truncated URL. This may seem to be redundant,and it takes longer to prepare, but it allows the recipient to see just where the truncated URL is supposed to take them, if they can't use the full URL, because of wrap etc. Just my way of giving the recipient some degree of confidence that the shorter (truncated) URL is genuine.
