"Girth" spewed foolishly in message

If you want to polish some more, trim the last few characters of
superfluous junk off the tail end of the URL, right up to but not
including the first ampersand following the text "?selm="


Example:


http://groups.google.com/groups?selm...up47i28%404 a
x.com

It wrapped.


It would have wrapped using the Middiot's procedure, too.

So show that there wouldn't be any wrapping for the post I picked, if
handled using the Middiot's procedure. That would be a true apples-to-apples
comparison.

BTW here's the Middiot's example:

http://groups.google.com/groups?selm...%40comcast.com

The text is the same other than the actual message ID which just happened to
be longer for the post I chose. The difference is that my procedure did with
a few mouse clicks what the Middiot recommended doing via a more complex and
more time-consuming procedure.
