There is a way for the sender to deal with this that will solve the problem for most people. Do the following: Press the enter key TWICE. Place URL: at the beginning of a new line. Press the space bar TWICE. insert the url beginning with http after the last space. Press the enter key TWICE. Then no matter what any email program does to the link it may be reconstructed as it is all buy its self. Example URL: http://www.google.com/search?q=email+programs&sourceid=mozilla-search&start=0&start=0 &ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official The above example is a Google search result URL for "email programs". It is more than 80 characters long and most email programs will chew it up. My email program has html formatting turned off so you only will get one url instead of two. but even if html is turned on you can tell where the separation is and put it all back together.
