Sending a link chops URL's with Outlook 2007!?#

[Bruce W.1]

Whenever I "send link" from a browser, using Outlook 2007, it not only
uses plain text formatting, but also chops long URL's with a newline.

I want my emails sent with HTML formatting.

And if I reply to a plain text email containing a long URL, this gets
chopped too!

I find this most annoying, as do the message recipients. Is there a way
to fix this, or should I just use a better email client like Outlook
Express or Thunderbird?

Thanks for your help.

Outlook does it because the line length for plain text is 76 char (tools,
options, mail format tab, international button - wrap at xx option).

You can also change the format before sending - Options tab - switch to
plain text. The link won't be 'hot' unless you enter or space after the url.

AFAIK, there is no way to make IE call up an HTML message form for the link.
It uses plain text so the link will be clickable - when it used the default
client format, links were not clickable in HTML unless the sender hit enter
or added a space at the end of the url.
