RichText editor ,Broken Links - Gregory OConnor - 09-14-2008 02:52 Don, what's the advantage of receiving TextOnly? and how do you choose that? I noticed on the forum home page the post are text only until you open it up. (you can see the html as in your copy below). Tiny URL is no good because the phrase expires in a month or so. When I find one of those broken URL's -I highlight the URL backwards. Holding down left mouse I move backwards over and paint the entire url ;hit "Ctrl" with "C" ;then paste it in the address line. (if you try and paint it forward, it will attempt to open the link.) If that doesnt work, I do the same but start by copying a non url symbol ;then paste ;than delete the non url symbol ;then hit 'go'. .--- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "Don Bradner" wrote: > > Can you tell from my copy below that your solution didn't work here? At least for those of us who choose to receive only text, nothing will work for a long URL except pasting it back together or using tinyurl. > RichText editor ,Broken Links - Don Bradner - 09-14-2008 07:13 On 9/14/2008 at 2:52 PM Gregory OConnor wrote: >Don, what's the advantage of receiving TextOnly? and how do you choose >that? I noticed on the forum home page the post are text only until >you open it up. (you can see the html as in your copy below). I do not use any html for e-mail, period. It is one of the many aspects to "super-safe" computing, which I practice carefully. I do not use a firewall or any AV program and all of the baggage (and false sense of security) that comes with them. I KNOW I'm not secure, so have to follow very careful procedures. I've never used Outlook for all of the same reasons; I use an old program called Courier that used to be called Calypso, and with it selecting text only is not a problem. >Tiny URL is no good because the phrase expires in a month or so. > >When I find one of those broken URL's -I highlight the URL backwards. >Holding down left mouse I move backwards over and paint the entire >url ;hit "Ctrl" with "C" ;then paste it in the address line.

I simply rebuild the wrapped ones in Notepad.
