Actually, how the link is displayed depends entirely on the recipient's mail
client, and possibly even how their mail client is configured.

For instance, even this bracketed version is broken/wrapped in Outlook
Express for windows.  If you want to have the best chances of producing a
clickable link, your best bet is something like TinyURL.  For archival sake,
a copy of the complete original link (wrapped if necessary) should also be
included for if/when the TinyURL shortcut expires.

For those who use Firefox as their browser, there is a handy extension that
gives you quick and easy access to automatically TinyURL long addresses.

Cheers,
JD
