Or use tinyurl.com to create http://tinyurl.com/voci
Another good way is to follow RFC-1738 <http://www.apps.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1738.html> and enclose the URL in angle brackets. Most e-mailers will respect the brackets and preserve the full URL even if it wraps a line. Although that RFC recommends prefacing all URLs with "URL:", I find that most e-mailers work slightly better if you leave that part out. Just for the heck of it, here are two really long URLs to test your own e-mailer on.
First, without the URL: prefix-
<http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/stats/batting?ageMax=99&hand=a&league=mlb&sort=runsCreatedPer27Outs&seasonType=2&type=sab&split=0&pos=all&season=2003&ageMin=0>
Then, with the prefix (my own e-mailer displays this incorrectly, but actually handles it properly when transferring to the browser)-
<URL:http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/stats/batting?ageMax=99&hand=a&league=mlb&sort=runsCreatedPer27Outs&seasonType=2&type=sab&split=0&pos=all&season=2003&ageMin=0>
