Try updating to the 2.42 release build here and see if it fixes it:

My SM 2.26.1 does NOT break links.  They may be on several lines but still work
as one long line.  I tried sending the following link from SM to/from SM,
company Exchange server, and Gmail.  All kept the original SM link clickable but
on 3 lines.  It looks like it rolled to the next line on a "/" though.
I use plain text.

Thunderbird has implemented OAuth2 authentication for Gmail IMAP and
SMTP since v38.
The benefit is that one doesn't need to jump through hoops anymore and
allow 'less secure' apps for Gmail.
I don't know about Seamonkey.

What protocol?


OAuth2


For web browser authorization. Again, for a mail client? Not a push for 
their webmail portal?

It looked like it was going to work, but then in each account, under

Local directory, which is preset, but I can also browse.

There is NO advanced tab except under Server Settings, which is a

Not a tab, a button. On my display, it's to the right of the line
[x] Empty Trash on Exit
and above and to the right of
Message Store Type: [File per folder (mbox)]

I would also note that this applies only to mail accounts; the dialog is 
somewhat different for newsgroup accounts. And of course Local Folders 
has no Server Settings section.


What version of SM do you have? I'm using the latest stable release, v. 
2.39.



I wonder if the OSX version is different.


Possibly.

Shorten the link.

I have no idea how SM's line-wrapping stuff works, so take this post
with a big grain of salt.

Check your 'sent' folder -- if the copy there has a line break in the
middle of what should have been the URL, SM did it.  If not, the
problem is probably on her end, in which case there's nothing you could
do other than run the URL through a URL shortener before pasting it.

In case SM is causing the break, toggling wrapping off before pasting
should be the answer.  There's an extension that's supposed to make
toggling it easy,
.

Compose the email in HTML, and use Insert > Link. ❓❓❓

Yes, that would probably work, Walt, but as I want to Compose in PL 
. !


Why, when your sister is probably accessing GMail in Chrome (you think). 
Tell her to install Thunderbird. ;-)

Your other two suggestions work fine. Thank you.  Also you interesting filter

Going to http://www.seamonkey-project.org/ seems to indicate SM 2.39 is 
the latest release.


These SM 2.42 links are not for RC's as they feature the word 
"nightly"!! I'm happy to play with Betas or R.C.'s but not nightly's, so 
waiting  waiting!!
