Wonderful photographs, thanks for posting them!

HORRIBLE MESSAGE, though.  I suspect you don't realize how bad it is
since it probably looked fine when you sent it, but your mailer seems to
have mangled it thoroughly.  The main problem is that all the URLs ended
up with no white space before them, so they all appear to be part of the
previous word.  It is a real pain to try to extract the URLs from that
mess.

I assume that your mailer sends only a formatted message without a plain
text alternate, and the mailing list software strips off the formatting
leaving a mangled message.  In any case, if you can choose "plain text"
when sending to the list, it would be very helpful to the rest of us.

While I'm bitching, may I respectfully suggest avoiding tinyurl-only
links?  They are nice sometimes, but have the disadvantage of being a
good way to hide information rather than reveal it.  It is usually
easier (and always faster) to go to the next picture in the gallery than
to have to go through clicking on a link to a third party encryption
service, but with only the tinyurl to guide you you cannot be sure that
you are looking at the right picture without going the long way around.

I think Ric Carter's method of posting both the original and the tinyurl
link is the best, though I'm sure it's more of a pain for him.  At least
there's never an excuse to miss one of his pictures. At least a couple
of people missed out on seeing yours...
