Yup.  However, I do feel that Gnus should try to do something with
broken URLs automatically.

But I'm not quite sure what.  :-)

When being presented with

<http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2006/03/25/
MNG6OHU6RR1.DTL&type=printable>

it doesn't take much logic to find out that that's really a single
URL.

Or even this:

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2006/03/25/
MNG6OHU6RR1.DTL&type=printable

However, this isn't:

http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?file=/c/a/2006/03/25/
doesn't work.

In quoted text it gets marginally more difficult:

I think some work in this department would be welcome, but I'm not
quite sure where to start.
