Hi,
It seems that long URLs (even those with non-alphanum characters like
underscore, question mark, equals) come through OK if you post in Outlook plain
text mode. Posting from Outlook HTML mode definitely mangles the URL in an
unpredictable way. (Example: equals followed by "eng" was OK. Equals followed
by "13" was converted into a double exclamation Unicode character).
Your mileage may vary: Probably the best practice is to post long and short
links in plain text mode.
