Understood. The entire URL is roughly 7 times as long as the A number:

   http://research.att.com/~njas/sequences/  +  A000000

But these days would a pure text file even multiplied by 7 really take 
that much longer (compared to web pages with even small images)?

Of course each reader could go through that entire procedure (as well as
the other suggestions) themselves.

I know I'm just being petty...
I realize now that I have a mail reader (Outlook) that makes every URL 
in an email a clickable link that brings up a web browser (makes it look 
like a webpage with links) and maybe that colors my expectations...
