I guess I should've expected it: take a minute or two to offer a 
suggestion to someone who complained of Spotlight shortcomings, and the 
reply is a dressing down which implies I'm a spammer or phisher...

You're welcome, Bruno. And, FYI, there are widely used email clients 
which do not honour long URLs, even when quoted or enclosed in angle 
brackets. Hence the need for TinyURL. But thanks for the lesson, 
anyway.
