The message under this thread, sent by me recently, may have made little
sense to readers, just as it made little sense to me. It isn't their fault,
or mine.

It's because web and email addresses, which had originally arrived in my
inbox in plain form, not as links, and which I quoted in that form, were in
their next round-trip to and from Navlist, somehow converted into web-link
form. So no non-link addresses remained. Very confusing.

| Navlist messages come to me as emails, using Outlook Express.
|
| Before New Year, nearly every Navlist message reaching me me via
| NavList@fer3.com  seems to have carried carried the following
| postscript at the bottom-
|
| NavList message boards: www.fer3.com/arc
| Or post by email to: NavList@fer3.com
| To , email NavList+@fer3.com
|
| in which the underlined addresses are shown as links, and a click on them
| took me straight to the destination.
|
| However, a few, such as one posted on 22 Dec to NavList@fer3.com, arrived
| as-
|
| NavList message boards: www.fer3.com/arc
| Or post by email to: NavList@fer3.com
| To , email NavList+@fer3.com
|
| in which the addresses were not links, for some reason.
|
| Until New Year, that is. At New Year, the postscript, for messages sent to
| me via Navlist@fer3.com  changed to-
|
| ----------------------------------------------------------------
| NavList message boards and member settings: www.fer3.com/NavList
| Members may optionally receive posts by email.
| To cancel email delivery, send a message to NoMail[at]fer3.com
| ----------------------------------------------------------------
|
| in which nothing was actually a link, or marked as such. Instead, it was
| necessary to cut and paste the address into a browser.
|
| whereas of those sent via Navlist@fer3.com , some have the following
| postscript-
|
| > ----------------------------------------------------------------
| > NavList message boards and member settings: www.fer3.com/NavList
| > Members may optionally receive posts by email.
| > To cancel email delivery, send a message to NoMail[at]fer3.com
| > ----------------------------------------------------------------
|
| in which www.fer3.com/NavList is highlighted, and works, as a link.
|
| and for some reason, some others sent via Navlist@fer3.com have no such
| postscript at all.
|
| I offer no explanation, nor do I seek one.  This is no more than an
| observation, that something funny is going on with the marking of links,
as
| links or not-links. Just in case it has a connection with the curious
| behaviour mentioned by Gary.
