[X4U] APPLE's Mail Program

[Ed Gould]

I subscribe to a *extremely* technical computer email list. Once in a  
great while I post a URL that wraps the line.
I get flamed for this as they are the types that can site RFC's and  
exact lines of RFC's where "I" (read APPLEs EMAIL program) breaks the  
RFC for not handling wrapped URL's and or other breaking of various  
RFC "rules". I know I am a whipping boy on some of these comments but  
I am to the point of saying if you don't like it then complain to  
Apple. I just don't have the time or the where-with-all to go into  
such an argument. These people *KNOW* what they are talking about and  
you really have to be a anal retentive lawyer to argue with them on  
stuff like this, IMO.

They can argue for 4 months (10-15 emails a day) on real minutiae  
(the meaning of a computer term).

One suggested I put "<" and ">" before and after the URL. I did that  
and according to them it still violated the RFC. In other words they  
are a hypercritical bunch and are of the type that do know it all  
(sigh). I am *NOT* conversant in the RFC's to try and even argue one  
way or the other. How would any of you handle this type of situation?

ps: I am not about to read and try to understand the RFC's for EMAIL  
(let alone become an expert).
