Agreed, this is important feedback.

I think making it obvious a link goes to an external domain is
important.  How about splitting it on long tokens?  Something
like:

	<a href="...">http://
		7fh6tueqddpjyxjmgtdiueylzoqt6pt7hec3pukyptlmohoowvhde4yd
		.onion/public-inbox.git</a>

Is a 56-character token OK for mobile displays?  My own preference is to
wrap at 64-characters despite using 80-column displays.

I wish Tor could've figured out some better way to make .onion v3 URLs
shorter...
