Or..
.. if someone quoted you or cut and pasted a tuncated url form a post somewhere.. that would make the links appear that way..
eg:
this url - comes out right...
http://cyberlinkxxx.com/xlink/rscott...andriatits.htm
but if I now copy, cut and paste it... it doesnt come out right.
http://cyberlinkxxx.com/xlink/rscot.../andriatits.htm
