Subject: Text::Autoformat splits URIs
Because Text::Autoformat knows to split on hyphens it will split long URIs containg a hyphen thus this link: http://customwire.ap.org/dynamic/stories/S/SCOTUS_COPYRIGHTS?SI-TE=COFOR&SECTION=HOME will become this link: http://customwire.ap.org/dynamic/stories/S/SCOTUS_COPYRIGHTS?SI- TE=COFOR&SECTION=HOME with the appropriate margin setings. This can be enormously unhelpful. Struan

Or rather[0] because it knows to split long lines by hyphenating it will split long URIs. As I said before this is unhelpful in that list of links in (for example) reformatted emails then break. thanks Struan [0] I misunderstood the problem :(
