It was supposed to appear, in HTML, as a single underlined word "Entourage",
you're not supposed to see the link. Except that you, Gary, have your own
script that works from a rule on incoming messages to strip the HTML and
show just the plain text part of multipart/alternative messages, no? My
script is certainly very well behaved in that regard - I include a plain
text part with the link presented in full. That's what you're seeing, I
think. Entourage knows how to display unbroken long URLs in plain text, so
you'd see no problem. The issue is a means for working on email clients,
especially on the PC, that aren't so well-behaved with displaying long
URLs.

10.1.4 and later works the same way as 2004. And the script works for
earlier versions of 10 too (which behaved differently). The fact that you
strip HTML (if I'm remembering correctly) means you're out of the game here.
But I'm glad my plain text part is also doing what it should.
