There are just a few email programs that can wrap a long link to the next line without breaking it, so you have to cut and paste the rest of it manually. I highly recommend using http://tinyurl.com/ to post long links. However, the one Nick March (nicbordeaux) posted just recently didn't work no matter what I did with it. I've also seen people post links to their web albums from when they are logged in, which, of course, wouldn't work for anyone else.
