I have an email/URL problem .... if anyone has a solution I would appreciate hearing from you. The reason I ask is because I have received URLs from others in this list that have had the same problem ... (invalid URLs). A solution for this would help a number of us ....gdc I have a Data Base listed on RootsWeb for our family line ... However, anytime I try to email it to someone .... including folks on this list ... I copy and paste the URL in the body of the email .... it always comes out too long and the last part of the URL "=garygdc gets disconnected from the rest of the URL ... causing confusion and consternation when the highlighted URL is clicked on .... (it goes to a blank page) .... see the email example below to see what happens ... when it was pasted it was all together on one line... when received it splint across 2 lines and the last portion was disconnected.
