Hi Robert and list: I am a bit behind on my mail, so I suspect the issue you raised has already been properly addressed. But in the event that it hasn't, the equals sign you refer to is not part of the URL, but in fact, is one of the equals signs that I and a few others have been talking about that appear on every line of certain messages. In a response you wrote to a post on this subject, you said you had not noticed the equals signs at the end of each line that we had described. Now that the unnecessary inclusion of the equals sign has caused misinterpretation of the URL, perhaps you and others will recognise this problem. More importantly, hopefully your experience will cause those in a position to fix it will take enough notice to do so. Cheers, Dave
