Since this _is_ a text-only mailing list and your post was text only,
there is no link. (Oops!) You have to post the URL itself.

In particular, please trim off the extra stuff at the bottom of your
posts to which you are NOT responding. A lot of people, even
not-so-newbies, miss this and leave a lot of useless excess at the
