... and where possible say in the message what the item is (sounds like that 
wasn't possible in this case!) rather than just posting a "look at this" link. 
I rarely waste the CPU cycles to fire up a browser unless I have some idea of 
what I'm going to be looking at!

p.s. I think most modern-ish apps will make sense of URLs between <> 
characters and not wrap them across multiple lines; I think it is some 
standard or other, but there's no guarantee that *everything* from the last 
ten years will handle it :-)

cheers
