Do the HTMLized FAQs at www.cis.ohio-state.edu handle the angle brackets
correctly? A few weeks ago I read an FAQ out there that had an URL in
angle brackets and the ending angle bracket (>) was part of the link and
so the link did not work. Also, I'm pretty sure that an URL with a
carriage return and/or linefeed in it will not get converted correctly.
But maybe the conversion software has been (or will be) converted to
understand the angle brackets....

I'd also like to find out about Unix and PC newsreaders/mailers that
can jump to URLs.

Thanks,
