Is there a way to stop this happening when I visit a web site using Safari?

I don't want to 'block all cookies' if it means preferences such as location and passwords are lost.

yes it is, properly delimited as per the rfcs.

Pls use a newreader which masters this easy task.

please use a newsreader that's rfc compliant.

that rules out thunderbird.

and did you really need to save *three* keystrokes by abbreviating the
word please to pls? unlike twitter, sms, etc., there are no limits to
the size of usenet posts.

TB is in contrast to the awkward User-Agent: Thoth/1.9.0 (Mac OS X)

that rules out thunderbird.

Bullshit! Everybody can see that my repetition in TB is clickable yours
not.

correct.

thunderbird is non-compliant, whereas thoth is.

that rules out thunderbird.

both are clickable.

however, yours is non-compliant and will break when quoted.

that's one of the purposes of <> delimiters, to enclose a url so that
it *doesn't* break with embedded whitespace, line breaks and/or quote characters.

What are you talking about here? You reposted the EXACT same link that
nospam posted. Both work here and both go to the same page.

I’ve been using Super Agent on all my devices recently, and it seems to do quite a good job.

False.

Total loss of reality. Your delimiters had no effect and the link broke.
My link will always work with the same delimiters you used but
implemented fully rfc-compliant by TB.

The original is clickable for me as it should be as noted in standards e.g. RFC 3986 <https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3986.html#page-51>

Which says

In some cases, extra whitespace (spaces, line-breaks, tabs, etc.) may
have to be added to break a long URI across lines. The whitespace
should be ignored when the URI is extracted.

So the standard explicitly says that line breaks should be ignored.

hah. thunderbird has no clue what an rfc even means.

And you think you know better?
Ridiculous!

only because thunderbird is non-compliant with the rfcs.

get a non-broken newsreader and the problem goes away.

under no circumstances should anyone deviate from established standards
solely to accommodate buggy incompatible software.

False.

not false.

thunderbird is non-compliant and what's worse is its developers have no interest in fixing it (among its numerous other problems).

that's one of the purposes of <> delimiters, to enclose a url so that

demonstrably false.

no it won't.

hah. thunderbird has no clue what an rfc even means.

Thanks very much (and nospam) - installed and passed the Met Office test.

it seems a small thing, but agreeing (or not) to something I know very little about was starting to get on my nerves.

Yes, I was getting fed up with it too. Sometimes the tree-hugging
do-gooders can end up being less helpful than intended.

I appreciate the need to give the user a choice, but surely we don't
always have to bow down to lowest level of intelligence!

That site is one I check regularly and it's been ****ing me off for
ages. Now I've got my vision restored (in one eye), I've rekindled my
interest in clouds and other weather things. Once I've sorted out the
Ventura release I'll almost certainly install Super Agent. TIA.

SA installed for Safari on Ventura and iOS - seems to work OK so far.
