some mail programs, such as "Mail.app" on OSX, don't handle URLs as  
literal text... because some mail transports wrap text without  
realizing that a URL shouldn't be split, some mail programs try to be  
nice to the user and undo the damage by counting the next line as a  
continuation of the URL. of course, if the next line is blank, it  
doesn't do this.

so when i clicked on the link above, the mail program sent a URL  
containing "on-linux/________" to the web browser.

please make sure, if you're going to send a URL like this, include a  
few blank lines after it, so that the list's "_____" footer separator  
doesn't accidentally "become" part of the URL.
