[HM] Re: email programs

[TeeGate]

A perfect example. My daughter just emailed me a link to an article 
using Mail.app, on a follow up to an article about kids who killed some 
animals at a local zoo. Check out the link and notice the gap. Apple 
needs to fix that problem!

And this occurs in other programs in OSX, such as TextEdit, so it may 
not be only a Mail.app problem. Luckily I do not have to use TextEdit as 
a mail program, or I would have to stop using that.
