Hi everyone,
just a friendly notice that I apologise in advance for if you have already noticed this but placing a comma or any other non white space character after hyperlink causes the hyperlink to be broken in the list archives as web browsers interpret the none white space character to be
a part of the hyperlink.

It is not anyone's browser doing this, but the archiving software, which is broken, for it is this archiving software which is converting plain text URLs to hyperlinks. Decent archiving software ought to do what for example Thunderbird does, recognise characters illegal in URL's like comma, and trailing full stops, are not part of a URL.

The archiving software is also broken for taking long plain text lines in postings like https://lists.ibiblio.org/sympa/arc/b-hebrew/2006-July/028851.html , which should be wrapped, and treating them as preformatted long lines, i.e. in <PRE>...</PRE>.
