9 years ago - This is Mailman's doing.
- The url is 94 chars long. It's true that if someone is on a terminal emulator with a window that fits less than 94 chars, it will be annoyingly split. Is that the case for you?
- Someone using a text-based mail client will probably be more than capable of using the second method of confirming, which is to respond to the email. With mutt that's five whole keys: "r:wqy"

If you do not wish to be subscribed to this list, please simply disregard this message. If you think you are being maliciously subscribed to the list, or have any other questions, send them to discuss-owner@lists.snowdrift.coop.The text is wrapped, presumably in consideration for those of us who use text-based mail clients. The URL is very long though, so many terminal emulators won't display it in one line, and therefore won't pick it up.
