I'd say your best bet would be to have the script automatically register the URLs with one of the various link-shortening services (e.g. tinyurl.com, metamark.net, makeashorterlink.com with its ironic domain name . . .) and put the shortened link in the email instead of the long one. Most of those services provide a SOAP interface, so you should be able to access them from AppleScript pretty easily.
Maybe just using one of the email OSAXen (e.g., xmail.osax) would do the job.
