How to handle long links that do not wrap around in Yahoo groups.

Greetings all,
As the title indicates, Yahoo groups has forever had this problem
with long links. Only part of the hypertext receives link status;
the remainder gets pushed to a 2nd line which becomes just plain
text with no linking. I really can't fathom why Yahoo does not
rectify this situation. For those unaware, it appears that a posted
link is broken. In fact, it is not; only Yahoo groups format broke
it.
What you have to do is copy/cut and paste the link in sections.
DO NOT click on the link, it will take you no where. Start with the
unlinked text, copy then paste in the browser window, then come back
and copy the link but remember to insert the text to be pasted in
front of the first section. Vice versa works as well. Just
remember to set your cursor in the correct position before you paste.
I participate in a number of Yahoo groups and invariably members
report a link broken when in fact it isn't. Just watch for the
black text following the blue to determine if it is part of the
original link. Then copy and paste the link in sections.
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Eric
