Current email:

Hi, Someone (probably you) has registered this email address with the NASA-ADS (http://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu). To confirm this action, please visit <LINK> with your browser. If this is a mistake, then just ignore this email. -The ADS team

Line breaks would be advisable here. Incidentally, the email went straight to my spam folder, which may or may not have to do with the fact that the email is short, non-formatted, with no line breaks, and containing a long link for the relatively small amount of real text.```

We also need to look into proper support for email readers like Pine and mutt. Feedback from Andy Young (A.T.Young (ATYoung@mail.sdsu.edu)): I was trying to get ADS and ORCHID synced up; but the Web page that asked me to log in to ADS warned me that I would have to sign up for a new ADS account. I did this; but then couldn't get anything to work past that point. The message to "check your e-mail" prompted me to do so -- but the HTML inclusion seemed to be empty. (Anyway, "mutt" failed to find the attachment.)
