Broken URL for B2B text via Microsoft Outlook: HELP!!

[Sander van der Wijngaart]

Heinrich,
 
Did you try to put the URL in the sending task between quotes (like
'http://172.16.30.21:81/scripts/wgate//bbpwi/!?WI=000000070628&~language=EN&
~client=390' ). The quotes pursue Outlook that the string belongs together.
 
Note that the URL musn't be longer than 75 characters, 132 characters if you
use the LINEWIDTH parameter in SELFITEM.SENDTASKDESCRIPTION (if you use this
method).
 
Hope that helps!
 
Regards,

Hi Heinrich:
 
We had the same problem at first.
We did not any changes at program RSWUWFMLEC but asked MS Exchange
administrator to set a Exchange parameter for the line length, and now it's
OK.

Cristian
