My home ISP's SMTP server now rejects any mail with a tinyurl URL in it.
It's another wonderfully stupid nuclear flyswatter approach to fighting
spam--apparently some spammers have abused tinyurl, so now anyone who uses
it legitimately is treated as a spammer.

Long URLs split differently depending on the email client, its settings,
window size etc...  I've noticed that some posters use free services like
http://www.tinyurl.com to shrink long URLs to something a little more
manageable.
