That is odd. I am using a program for Macintosh called Thoth. When I
posted the last message and I went back and read it, I was able to
click on that link and it worked just fine with the URL thing

Dustin,

Hmm, I guess the trick does not work for you. Which program are you using to
post the messages with? I am using Outlook Express, and this trick
definitely works for me.

One other thing to try is to figure out whether whatever program you use can
handle HTML messages. If you can post the message as an HTML message, then
you can code in the link like this a href="link_URL"link_visible_text/a.

I am going to test out that URL trick here

URL:http://www.dustindorton.com/orchids2...schistausenoid
es/images/chiloschista_usenoides.jpg

That is my other Chiloschista, if you look in the center of the plant
you can see the spike that was just starting to form, and just below
that you can make out the tiny leaves that were coming off of baby
plant.

Dustin,

1) Noone is going to yell at anyone here for posting links. Links are
ok.
Really. Promise. No rules against them.
2) nice Chiloschista pusilla. :-) I don't believe I have seen this kind
of
orchid before, and I always enjoy finding out more about the diversity
of the
orchid world. It is amazing.
3) Links that are long tend to not paste right. There are two ways
around
that:

Try putting the link inside URL:long_link_text The result comes out
like
this


URL:http://www.dustindorton.com/orchids2...pusilla62/imag
es/DSC_0749.jpg


OR

Go to http://www.tinyurl.com and create an alias for the URL that is too
long. I have created one for you: http://tinyurl.com/2stlh . However if
you
use this method, please include the actual URL somewhere in the message
also,
since we do not know how long the tinyurl will be around and if the
groups.google archive were around longer than the tinyurl, it would be a
shame too loose the links.

Best,
Joanna
