E46 Projection Headlights on eBay

I was checking eBay for accessories, and found this auction. Good luck

THIS IS NOT MY AUCTION. I have no clue about the seller.

I don't know about this newsgroups policy about URL length, however
often long URLs don't come out correctly in messages. I recommend
checking out http://tinyurl.com. It's fantastic for taking long URLs
and turning them into tiny ones and they never expire.

Or you can enclose the url in brackets, thus:

<http://www.extremelylongurlthatgoesonandonandoninfactgoes wellbeyondthestandard72charactersorsothatistheusua lsettingforlinelengths.com>>

which will prevent newsreaders from breaking the line.

Yes, but be fair, I *did* specify 'newsreader.'

If that's the case, then your problem is that you're not using a
newsreader.

(Checks headers)

Yep. I see your problem.

Yeah, thanks for that. ;-)

Your really long link that you used in your example appeared unbroken, but
the link I made that actually goes somewhere split in two. I noticed your
link has < on one end, and >> on the other.

I didn't intend that, it shouldn't need two >>s on the end to work.
