Those links don't work for me. They are interpreted as mailto:// links,
and the link itself says not to mail them. I don't know what to do with
them, and neither do Thunderbird or (when I'm using Google Groups)
Firefox or Chrome.

For Tim's benefit, the explanation he's referring to is at the beginning
of what is (currently) the very last message on the "Call to a function"
thread, posted by me with a Date: header of Tue, 23 Jan 2024 14:19:09 -0500.
