I don't really understand what your problem is with the first one.
It's quite a common convention in plain-text emails where, unlike
HTML, there is no formatting to turn arbitrary words into a link to a
URL - the full URL has to be included as part of the text. Rather than
include long URLs within the main text, which might make the it
difficult to read, the sender has included the URLs at the bottom like
numbered footnotes. The numbers in square brackets within the text
refer you, the reader, to the corresponding footnote to find the URL.
That's just a convention for human readability; there's no magic
formatting in plain text which would turn the words next to the
reference into a link to the URL.
What are you expecting to happen that's not happening? Or what's
happening that you're not expecting?
The OP has said these are HTML messages (and he posted relevant code
excerpts), so the normal expectation is for the display text to be
hyperlinked to the URLs. In that case, the display text is what the
reader sees, and the URL, no matter how long, is not visible. His
complaint was that the hyperlinks don't work -- he mouses over and the
cursor changes shape as it should, but nothing appears in the SM status
bar and nothing happens when he clicks.
If you want more, read the thread as most people who want to help will do.
I have read the thread. I explained the issue with the second example he
gave, which I can reproduce (some extra spaces at the beginning of the
URL seem to prevent the link from working).
The message source provided for the first example started "Content-Type:
text/plain" and did not include any HTML formatting - so looks like a
plain-text email to me. Maybe that email also has an HTML part, in which
case my guess would be that it's the same issue - but that's only a
guess since as far as I can see looking back over the thread we haven't
actually seen the HTML part of that message.
