Receiving Long URL via SMTP Message

HCL Domino Domino Forum

I am recieving a Long URL via an SMTP client and the URL is broken onto 3 lines.

For example…

http://www.some_website.com/pages/documentation

/web site documentation/web site admin/

document.html

The first line is the only section of the URL that is highlighted as a notes “HotSpot”

When I click the link it obviously fails.

Is there a client setting that I need to change or is there some kind of tag that I can put around the URL to get it recognised as a full URL.

In Outlook/Exhange the tag is < Long URL > ??

Any help would be great.

Many Thanks, Lee

Depends who broke the long URL. Notes will generally not break long URLs on inbound emails so it was probably broken by the sending party. Look at the MIME source - that should be a clue.

I don’t think the links are being broken by the sending party as the recipients that are not using notes do not have this issue.

I only have this problem where the recipients of the SMTP messages are notes users.

You need to look at the MIME source of a received sample.

Specifically what encoding does it use? text/plain, quoted-printable, etc?

I’m having the same problem. A long URL in a message delivered to a Lotus Notes mailbox is being wrapped and only the first line is highlighted as an HTML link. The message was received via SMTP and it’s origin is an external (non-Notes) application.

Exactly the same message has been delivered to users using Outlook and mutt without problems. These user agents do not break the link.

The message part containing the link was received as an attachement of the following type, encoding and size: text/plain, 7bit, us-ascii, 0.4K
