Many times when URL are send or received as a link, they are spilt in more
than one line with no continuous underlining. This render such link
inoperative, unless the address get reconstructed in a single line. Many
times we recognize the problem and do the reconstruction. Others do not have
a clue of the problem.
Is there anything we can do to prevent that occurrence when we send a link?
Or is this capricious and unavoidable? Is it more common with one mail
handler than other? (Outlook, Outlook Express, Netscape, etc)
Thanks for your interest.

To respond, edit out the "off_" from the address.
Para contestar, quite el "off_" de la direccion.

Since it is the e-mail client of the recipient of the e-mail that
determines how it will display a URL link (or anything else in that
e-mail client), you have no control over its behavior when you include a
long URL that gets wrapped to 2, or more, lines. See the following for
making a shorter lengthed link:

http://www.snurl.com/
http://www.tinyurl.com/
http://www.makeashorterlink.com/

For example, Symantec is ridiculous with their horrifically long URLs
they use to point to their pages. Would you yourself want to have to
click on a super long URL, like
http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPOR...ws 2000/Me/98/XP&src=sg&pcode=nav&svy=&csm=no,
or would you like to use something nice and short, like
http://snipurl.com/awxg?

If the URL is some page on YOUR web site then use shorter path and file
names, or define virtual paths to that page which are shorter in length.
 
Thanks
