bug or feature

[Will]

When I send a link http://www.abc.dhd/thingie1/thingie2/thingie3/abcdehtml.hml,
it ends up into 2 lines at the receiving end. Jesus, how many Outlook versions
has gone out already, and they still don't know how to keep link on one line?
Don't they ever test when they ship? Or is this supposed to be a feature?

It's not a high priority, especially since it works with HTML and a large
percentage of mail is sent HTML. You need to use a mime type to keep long
urls from breaking or lengthen the line length (tools ,options, mail format,
internet - line lengths) - although I believe changing line lengths is
broken.

I find that enclosing a URL in "< " and " >" will usually prevent line
breaks. That's a less-than and a space in front of the URL and a space and
greater-than after the URL. Here's one to test:
