Using the ANBF notations and definitions of RFC 822 and RFC 1521, the
syntax of the URL parameter Is as follows:

URL-parameter := <"> URL-word *(*LWSP-char URL-word) <">

URL-word := token
; Must not exceed 40 characters in length

Question: Why the arbitrary limit of 40 characters for folding ?  Why not
let
the URL-word be as long as the current line will allow.


On another point:
The use of a URL in a message/external is interesting but I don't
see how it solves the problem of sending HTML in mail.  Unless of course
HTML is never included in the body of a message and only external references
are made to a page.  Is that what you are proposing?
