All true and commonly used but it's worth mentioning that putting a space before the dot TLD is a better way to prevent auto linking in email/IM clients since most of them detect the formation URLs by other means rather than rely on the exitence of http://.
Certainly true, the machine I'm currently responding on runs Apple Mail 5.2 and does turn it in to a link, but since hxxp is an invalid protocol it doesn't do anything useful with it. Clicking the link just gives a "no associated application" error, so the practical result is the same. --- Sean Harlow sean () seanharlow info
