Outlook 2007, text, and quoted printable

[Joseph Siegler]

Back in the day when I was using Outlook Express, I ran into the
problem where you'd send URL's, and if they were of any real length,
they'd get broken up over multiple lines, rendering said URL useless
as a clickable item.

I could fix that in OE by going into the text mail settings and
changing the MIME formatting to quoted printable.

I'm now using Outlook 2007, and there's no way to do that in the
program that I can find. The only text mail options are to set a
right hand column for line breaks, and uuencoding on attachments.

How can I get it to encode in quoted printable? I looked through
some old msgs here that refer to a registry hack, which I'm fine with
doing. But I can't find a version that is for Outlook 2007.

Danke.

I maxed out the right hand column at 132, but IMO, that's not big
enough. Would like some help with this.

Danke.

outlook no longer has a q-p setting and afaik, the hack doesn't work. you'll
need to use html to keep it from breaking.

That's some serious asinine thinking on someone's part. As I said in
the other msg, I have it maxed out at 132, so we'll see what that
does.

If you use HTML and use the Insert Hyperlink dialogue, it shouldn't wrap.
