[SI-LIST] Re: URLs -- Re: Spam friendly URL Shorteners

Hi,
It seems that long URLs (even those with non-alphanum characters like 
underscore, question mark, equals) come through OK if you post in Outlook plain 
text mode. Posting from Outlook HTML mode definitely mangles the URL in an 
unpredictable way. (Example: equals followed by "eng" was OK. Equals followed 
by "13" was converted into a double exclamation Unicode character).

Your mileage may vary: Probably the best practice is to post long and short 
links in plain text mode.
