Incomplete links in Mail

Some recepients of links that I send in Mail can't open them. I 'edit link' and when they click on the link they get a message that the web page can't be found. Also, Mail is cutting off the URL and not letting you click on it. Some of the link is clickable, but the back end isn't blue.

This is not a Mail problem, per se. You cannot expect a URL to be preserved past the standard 72-character linebreak without care. You typed the URL like so: http://www.freaking_long_url.com/department_files/employee_files/my_files/. This is not guaranteed to work. The standard of care is to enclose your URL in brackets like so: <http://www.freaking_long_url.com/department_files/employee_files/my_files/>. This is guaranteed to work in properly written Internet clients.
