Alastair I think it is mail client (and its settings) dependant. Here in 
Outlook 2003 your bracketed links are just clickable
perfectly. Many times longer links without brackets are broken. Hence the 
advent of the duplicating TinyURLs as well. Since those
are shorter you don't normally use the brackets there, or at least I don't. 
I'm sure Brian will provide some expert advice on this
all. It does come up now and again. I know that MS software is evil 
incarnate for the computer cognoscenti, but it is dominant in
the marketplace. Sorry guys not meaning to stir up trouble there.
Cheers
Geoff

G'day all, this one might be for Brian. I know I've had my wrist slapped in 
the past, but is it really necessary to put the <>
around the tinyurl links. I think it is supposed to help with the longer 
links, but it means that you have to cut and paste every
time you want to view a connection. Leaving off the <> around the tinyurl 
would allow instant access: Yes? No? Stupid? More slaps on
the wrist?

Cheers

Alastair
