creating text to add a hyperlink to an e-mail.

I'm working on a program that is generating hyperlink text and
automatically sending out an e-mail message. I can get it to create a
new e-mail message, insert a standard URL as below and send it out ok.

http://www.your_url_here.com/

This shows up as a hyperlink just fine of course but the URL that I'm
generating is very very long and what I'd like to do is have it show up
as a short line of text just like you can do when you create a
hyperlink from within OutLook.

Like this would creat in an HTML document.

<a href=http://www.amazon.com/>this is some text</a>

When I format it like this it simply shows up as that line in text.

I want it to show up as

this is some text

and the user can then click on it and go to www.amazon.com

Is there any text I can create a hyperlink and insert it in an e-mail
so that it will do this?

Like I said, the actual URL that I'm generating is very very long so
I've used simple examples here.
