WTF? "OpenDNS" label for links in ehMac?

It was copied-and-pasted, and I checked the syntax more than a few times...

OpenDNS is getting a 404 error on your links.

your links are messed up because the new Safari tries to retain the formatting from your word processor document, but the formatted text itself gets messed up when pasted to the clipboard.

the messed up formatting is not apparent until Safari converts the text to plain text when you hit the submit button.

if you run your text through a plain text editor (like textedit) you will see what i mean.

as a designer, i have to purge the copy our clients send us of all formatting by running it through a plain text editor, then spend time manually correcting all of the formatting garbage that word processors generate. (extra spaces between letters/words/between sentences, funny characters, etc etc etc.)


^^ hit the button marked in red to switch to the plain text editor.

Hmmm. Ok. I'm copying-and-pasting the link from the Safari addressbar, so it should be plain text anyway, right? It's not being copied-and-pasted from any Word Processing document.

Regardless... I'll go back to the posting I made today to see if retyping it within the ehMac editor will fix it.

Thanks for the tip

EDIT: Nope. No-go. I retyped the URLs within ehMac, didn't fix it. I copied the post out into BBEdit, checked for invisible characters or other anomalies, no-go. To be sure, I copied it out of BBEdit and pasted into the EhMac editor, and the problem remains.

EDIT 2: Just re-edited the post with Firefox. Re-loaded each of the review pages in a separate FireFox window and cut-and-pasted the links from there. No difference. ehMac still reformats my links. But not all of them. Huh?
