How dare you break my URLs!

Don't you hate it when you send an email with longish URLs only to find that your email client broke the URL with line breaks? It is just another example of MS doing the thinking for you and causing you more work to figure out how to fix it.

So, I have been using Outlook and have noticed the broken URLs from time to time, but today I decided to put an end to it ... and the solution was quite simple (this time). In Outlook, just choose:

Tools > Options > Mail Format tab > International Options
Uncheck 'Auto select encoding for outgoing messages'

That is it, hope that helps someone!
