I know Kelley will say that simply putting long URLs in between the greater than and less than symbols will contain it and not make it break into multiple lines, but this hasn't been my experience.

And I know people don't like the makeashorterlink.com because, well it's kinda long to type.

So why not use http://tinyurl.com instead?

Plus it makes e-mail look "neater".

For comparisons sake:
