Yahoo!Groups has the annoying bug (they probably call it a special 
feature) that when URLs wrap, the link-conversion only works for what 
remains on the first line, so the link is wrong.  If the link-length 
is borderline, Yahoo!Groups will sometimes try to wrap, and ends up 
inserting a slash at the end of the link, making the link faulty.  
Since the Photos-section of Yahoo!Groups produces a link that is 
about 200 characters long, the link always wraps to several lines.  

Generally you get much more reasonable lengths of the links if you 
post files to the files-section (and don't use spaces in the folder- 
and file-names - spaces are converted into the string "%20"); the 
reason many groups require that image-files are posted to the photos-
group (but I have not seen that dictate here, and the Files-section 
is only 6-7% full, anyway), is that the Photos- and Files-sections 
have separate file-quotas - 20MB for Files, and 30 MB for Photos.  
Myself, I'd have preferred one bulk quota of 50 that went for both.
