I often receive emails containing extremely long (>= 300 characters) URLs
that I'd like to click on. This does not work properly because emacs flows
the text onto multiple lines on the terminal and appends a "\" character
at the end of each of these virtual lines to indicate continuation. The
normal mouse-select and ctrl-left-click method doesn't work properly
because the "\" characters are included and invalidate the URL.
I use emacs in -nw (terminal) mode.
Is there a way to change my OS's (Linux Mint 15) or emacs' behavior so
that the entire URL is selected instead of just the first virtual line?
The workaround I've been using is to mouse-select the entire URL,
including the "\" characters, copy, paste into the browser, then delete
the "\" characters by hand.
The other thing I do, if the URL is less than about 250 characters is
stretch the terminal window wide enough to contain the entire URL on a
single line.
