Rick,

Thanks for the input.  Where did you get the 0.90.2 version? 

I went to bugzilla (Redhat's) after posting and found some references to 
0.90 indicating problems.  Supposedly that's why a newer version is not 
up on the repo.  See the following:

    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=230075


I've been using 0.88.7 for quite a while, judging by the "DON'T PANIC" 
warnings I've been seeing in the daily logwatch reports.

I just did a couple more tests, using the "Send Link" option from 
Firefox.  It seems that putting a blank line prior to the link avoids 
the problem.  Also tried konqueror (send URL option).  Same issue the 
URL is missing from the email after clamav(-milter) scans it.
