take an extra xanax.

One thing that I've seen regarding clickable URL's is this:  if the URL is
complete on one line like http://www.apple.com/ it will work fine.  But some
people post these mile long URL's and they get split so the first part is on
one line and the second on the line below.  Only way that I've found, if I
really want to see it, is to copy and paste it into the browser.  This
happens to me in Mail and Entourage 2008 for instance (this is not a real
URL so don't click it(by the way, as soon as I started typing what Entourage
thought to be a URL, it moved the http etc to the line below..talk about
smart))

ctures/photo5?xml/showme_the_picture/pictureofmeatmy15thbirthday.jpg won't
work even if you put a < at the beginning and a > at the end.  Only the
first part of the URL will show as being clickable
