[Dixielandjazz] Japanese robot trumpet players. URL problems

[david richoux]

There is a little trick that often (but not always) works when you are  
trying to send a long address in e-mail:

put the "beaks" on each end with no gaps or other punctuation and it  
will keep the long URL read as one item.

so:   
<http://news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story2&cid=1509&u=/afp/20040311/ 
tc_afp/japan_toyota_auto_robot_company_040311115417&printer=1>  would  
normally work  but I see that it does have a problem with that  
"&printer1" part,
so try  
<http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&u=/afp/20040311/tc_afp/ 
japan_toyota_auto_robot_company_040311115417>
and that does work for me, anyway. )

There are exceptions - if you have logged into a site and copy an URL  
sometimes the resulting URL will have your loggin data included and  
that can mess things up... so then even cutting and pasting will not  
get you there quickly.
