	theres a 'set markers' that defaults to yes. I edited it to no
	and, presto, no mo' '+' in the url strings.  ---how you ever 
	remembered  the variable 'markers' is beyound me, but yup.

	anyway, with my konsole at std size, ~37x80, I moused dead-on 
	the http string.  same as before: the string showed up from the
	'http://.....' to the eol.  and when I clicked, I got garbage.  

	wait, there's more.  I blew up the konsole  until it filled the
	entire  screen.  [i did this once before and got the right page.]
	it still worked.  no '+' line break, but still.

	it's a bear to have to enlage the xterm/konsole just to read
	some mail, but it works with the two embedded urls that I've tried
	so far.  why?  dunno.
