Whenever I use Apple Mail to compose emails and I send a hyperlink in a email it cuts part of the link off and puts the other part on a second line so it makes the hyperlink invalid when I send it to people.

For example the link would look like this:

http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/keyboards

and when they receive it:

http://www.microsoft.com/hard
ware/keyboards

and only the first line will be a hyperlink.

Any suggestions?

Does it really happen on short URLs like that? Of course I would expect it to happen after 72 (?) characters.

One sort-of solution is to use http://www.tinyurl.com and get a short URL that way.
