The Mail Transport Agent (mail server) is supposed to wrap long lines
and makes no attempt to read the content it's wrapping. Most mail
clients don't unwrap lines (and shouldn't). Many Mac apps can take
advantage of Internetconfig, allowing one to "click" on links (wrapped
or not) and pass them off to the specified helper app. Try this rather
than copy/paste. For example, I read and write email in NiftyTelnet,
which as far as the Mac is concerned, is not an email program at all.
It does hand off URLs to Internetconfig, however, which works very
nicely.
