In newsgroup postings, why do I see so many URLs with broken hyperlinks?

[Stan Shankman]

It seems to be one of those little know "secrets" . . .

Why is it that I find so many newsgroup postings with non-working
hyperlinks? - You know the one's - they are long enough to line-wrap only
the hyperlink doesn't "wrap" with them - so to speak. But then I see other
URLs that are very long and might even wrap more than one line yet they work
just fine.

Who can tell me why? And more importantly, who can tell me what I must do to
ensure that my own hyperlinks are never broken in this manner?

Thanks all,

- Stan Shankman

Depends on your news reader, and the encoding.
