Links Getting Cut Off

A

Aaron

I'm trying to send out a hyperlink in an email message. I copy/paste the link into the message and then hit enter. The link turns blue and everything looks fine. The problem is that once I send the message, the link gets seperated into multiple line. Only a portion of the link appears as a hyperlink and the rest appears as text on the next line of the messsage. When trying to manually copy the link in the message, only the first line will be selected.

I need to send out messages with links to multiple reports and I can't have the recipients screwing around with copy/pasting multiple lines into IE to access each report. So, is there a way to get this to work? My company has disabled HTML in Outlook, FYI. .

If your links are extremely long, you can try shortening them using
tinyurl.com or a similar site. I use it a lot and have had great luck with it.

That's a good idea, but unfortunetly my company will not allow me to use tinyurl, etc. The real problem is that Outlook is adding a space in the middle of the link. It wouldn't be a problem if it just pushed the second half of the text onto the next line, but for some reason, it's adding a space when it does this..

Place the link between < and > to contain the URL like this. Another way to
go would be to replace the spaces with %20 which is the equivalent of a
space.
