They were, Herb, They Were.     The original email in my sent box is 
clickable and works fine  --  and That is What Was Sent To The List.     
There is an incompatibility somewhere between my client and the software 
so that extraneous Bracketed Numbers are added to each URL.     """I 
have Already Mentioned this in an email and I Have Already Mentioned 
that this is a Recent Problem because I have been using this client for 
a year and the problem is Recent."""     And  Please  Note  that I was 
also providing 2-URLs for each photo - original and TinyURL so those who 
receive broken URLs don't have to reassemble  (I rarely had a problem 
with broken URLs myself but recognized that others did and personally 
took steps to remedy same, something which 99_44/100% of udders Do NOT 
Do.)     The  URLs   A~R~E   correct in the email when I send them  --  
an incompatibility issue is causing garbled URLs in list emails.
.
You don't need a degree to solve the problem  --  until the 
incompatibility can be resolved, Simply copy the URL, paste into the 
browser And Before hitting the return strip the Bracketed Number  [1]  
off the right end of the URL Then Hit Return and it will Work Just Fine.
.
Remember that Your Mail Client used to send me 2-emails of each email 
you sent and // or replied to on the list - one through the list and the 
other privately - and you couldn't finger out what was going on!~!~!     
And you had a real fiasco of some sort with your private email address 
within the last month or so.     [Stuff]__Happens   that is Temporarily 
Beyond Our Control!~!~!~!     Hope it didn't not cause a bad hair day!~!~!

You are correct  --  this URL came through without Bracketed Number And 
comes through WithOut Bracketed Number when I send this same URL to the 
list in an email.     Could you please explain the address book comment 
above and how I might correct same?    Thanks!     I just looked at the 
Properties for the email address and set the '''[Recipient] Prefers to 
receive messages formatted as __Plain_Text.'''      This had be set as  
_Unknown_ - maybe this will solve the problem!~!~!     There isn't 
anything else I can set there.
.
I have also noticed that If I Include a Photo Attachment in an email I 
send to the list then any URLs in that email Also come through WithOut 
Bracketed Number.     So I am all set up to send a small photo with 
every email to prevent the bracketed number on the URLs.
.
Another problem is that when I quote a message much of the quote, but 
not all of it, is stripped in the list email at the website!~!~!
.
And Another Problem - a space is removed between 2-words in each line - 
at least in the emails at the website!~!~!
.
As a test, I am including the URL for the photo that Bob Rathke sent but 
as mentioned, the URL for the photo archive for the list might over ride 
the bracket problem:::

Thank__You for this photo, Bob - enough of the trucks are shown on the 
lead car to add impact to the picture!~!~!
