Paul, Thanks much for knowing and sending along the solution to my URL in  
messages quandary.  Ginny

Ginny,  the closest thing to an "official" internet document is something
called an  RFC, which means Request For Comment.  These are issued by
standards  organization, the debated freely by the community and finally
become  standard practice.

The RFC for email calls for URLs in messages to be  marked like this:
<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8UcR1jGDD4> with  angle brackets, just
as you often see in email addresses.  If you put  them in this way, most
email programs can cope with line-wrapping and still  recover the
complete URL.  Even AOL.

Regards,

-- Paul  Edgerton
(the two dashes followed by a space followed by the
sender's  name is a convention from another, very old, RFC.)
