Ben, I had a problem with that one but created a tool in CF with inspriation from makeashorterlink.com
try this: http://www.funjunkie.co.uk/link.cfm it takes a long url and comes up with a shorter version. The original version is stored in a db. so you could send a url like: http://webforums.macromedia.com/coldfusion/messageview.cfm?catid=6&threadid= 224410&highlight_key=y&keyword1=Internal%20Error%3A%20VDKSessionNew%20failed and turn it into http://www.funjunkie.co.uk/link.cfm?LVMVGAVL when the user clicks on the link you could just redirect with the new url - complete with url vars and everything. > -----Original Message----- > From: Ben Densmore [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: 29 August 2002 18:50 > To: CF-Talk > Subject: SOT:Question about url's in emails > > > > Hi everyone, > Recently my boss has been telling me that some customers who > we sent an > email promotion to have called back and told him that they > could not get > to the url that we are sending to them in the email, I had > one customer > forward me the email he sent and I noticed that the url wrapped to the > next line and was not clickable at that point.
