Re: How do I avoid the line-wrap character?

I isolate the URL on a line by itself (if it's in a buffer that 
I don't mind messing up -- otherwise I copy it to *scratch*). 

Then I edit it so it reads

x 'long://and.complicated&url' 

Then I use M-| to feed the line to the shell. (x is my alias for the
browser executable, which either opens the browser or adds a new tab
if already open.)

Undoubtedly this can be all be put into a single function, but I've
been too lazy to do it. For now this method feels very natural,
because I use M-| for all sorts of other things anyway.
