Hello to all,

I am trying to write a script that creates an email with various website
addresses.

The Problem:
Long URLs tend to be cut by some mail apps (on PC side of things) because of
their length. When a long URL falls on multiple lines, the automatic link
become broken for people with PCs. Only the first line becomes clickable.

Is there anything that can be done on the Mac side of things to prevent
that? I have tested placing the URLs between "<" and ">", but even that
fails. Note that when an email like that comes back, all links work again.

Are you placing a full URL, ie, including the "http://"; part or in other words <http://www.apple.com/support>?


Also, what mail app would be the most appropriate to do this in (easily
sriptable)?
