Fixing broken links due to line breaks in e-mail
Apparently still in 2010, people are sending e-mails with long URLs in them which get broken by the e-mail line wrapping.
In case you're the recipient of one of these malformed URLs, I've created a simple utility to repair the URLs for you. Just copy the URL you received with all of the ugly line breaks into the text box, and you get a nice link to the target URL at the end.
It's not very robust, but it gets the job done.
(And now I hope others won't feel inclined to forward e-mails to me so that I'll do this for them manually).
