I think this have something todo with wrapping on the mailing list server. 
Maybe an idea to make a gentoo link forwarder that keeps url short like
http://www.gentoo.org/forwarder.php?linkid=xxxxx

this is actually a function of how the text version of the GWN is generated.  Assigning to plate.

This hasn't been the case for a very long time... I'm manually editing the text version of the GWN every week to prevent line-breakage in links.
