HTML Email Link Unclickable (Is it too long?!?) Outlook 2007

[Scott]

I have an HTML email that has a long URL in it (maybe 1000 characters in
length). In Outlook 2007, the link is shown with the full URL; however, when
I try to click in it it doesn't work. I then booted the email up in Outlook
2003 and it works. Is there a max size for a URL in Outlook 2007 that is
different than Internet Explorer and Outlook 2003?

The email address of the sender is on my white list.

If I click to Edit the message and then Edit the hyperlink the text and the
URL is not displayed.

This seems like a bug in Outlook 2007?

Any ideas on how to get around this? I get a few of these a day and it's
annoying to have to go into Outlook 2003 and see them.

It appears so. I had a url about 1090 characters in length and had to shorten it to less than 1000 to get it to work. I'm thinking the magic number is around 1000-1024.

I couldn't find any other posts on the internet about an html email link length bug in Outlook, so I'm not sure if we'll see a fix any time soon.
