If Url length is a problem for you, why not use TinyUrl.com's service. Secondly note that an email message just consisting of a url, is treated by many mail services as highly likely to be sp*m   So remember to add some text to the message body too, explaining what the link is providing

I ran across this on a blog discussion: "URL shortening services' original purpose was to prevent cumbersome URLs from getting fragmented by broken email clients that felt the need to wrap everything to an 80 column screen. But this problem no longer exists."

The problem seems to still exist with Peg. If I don't use a shortened URL, the recipient often writes back to tell me the link doesn't work (likely because a space has been inserted somewhere during transmission). Is there some way around this?

Another problem: some mail servers seem to discard emails containing only a shortened URL with no other content.

No problem here with spaces being inserted into lengthy URLs when using Paste Special selecting "Text only, without styles and pictures, NOT wordwrapped" with Plain Text messages.  Have not tried this with messages written in HTML..
