Folks,
I have an issue where I must be able to send long (90-120 characters)
URL's to people in a message body. Most usually to a web page's given
content owner for review, approval. We are sending these notes from
Outlook 2002 (SP-2) to Lotus Notes R5/6 and other Outlook 2002 (SP-2)
mailboxes. When received (or replied to from the recipient), I find
that the url's almost always are truncated at around 75 - 80
characters. Anything beyond that point wraps to a new line. This has
serious downstream effects in that the link, when clicked, produces a
404 (page not found) error (it needs the full text of the url in order
to go to a meaningful page). The users can copy/paste the two
sections of the URL to the browsers address bar to produce a working
url. Unfortunately, in the business world, not everyone is this smart
(and truth be told, they should not have to. The product should work
well enough that this shouldn't be necessary).
I have read where other versions of Outlook Express included a feature
to turn off word wrapping (that function is not in my version). Is
this a(nother) shortcoming of Outlook, or is this something that can
be corrected?
BTW, the Outlook environment uses MS Exchange server as the MTA and
the Lotus Notes environment uses Sendmail and Lotus Domino as the MTA
environment.
Many thanks for your advice.
