I wish to thank Kevin of either the AGLCA or GL eMail subscriber
lists for helping me solve a problem that may effect others as well.
That is how to send extra long specific URL addresses to eMail
subscriber lists.
Kevin's message to me below: (a bit sarcastic, but attention getting):
John,
You have YET again posted a long URL that the list server chops up. As
others have already told you, that just does not work!!!
If you want to post a web URL to the list, first go to Tiny URL
(http://tinyurl.com/) and shorten your overly long URL to one that
will post
correctly. When you post that, the list server will leave it intact.
Kevin
I checked out Kevin's recommendation and below is the solution, which
seems to check out OK!!!
