Hi, Vince:
Screwed up URLs are indeed frustrating. If you haven't tried this, I'd
suggest that you put the URL (or email address for that matter) you're
including in an email in angle brackets, thusly:
You really don't need to do it with short URLs such as this, but it's
a good habit to get into, especially if the address is a little long.
Different email servers and clients tend to wrap lines at different
lengths, sometimes resulting in, as you've noted, part of the address
appearing un-highlighted on the following line. With the angle
brackets that never seems to happen and the brackets never interfere
when the link is clicked on.
Hope this helps.
