Long URLs in task description not displayed correctly in external email system

[Angeline Jan]

Pratha,
 
I ran into this issue a while ago.
 
What you need to do is break your URL up into 3 separate attributes.
Then in your long description insert <url.attribute1 url.attribute2
url.attribute3> (no spaces between each of the attributes).  Remember to
have the < > so that at runtime, it's recognized as a URL.

Subject: Long URLs in task description not displayed correctly in
external email system
 
Hi All,
=20
My current client requires a fairly long URL to be displayed in their
workitems in their external Lotus email system so they can connect back
into to SAP Portals to go into their workflow inbox.

I am using report RSWUWFML to send the generated workitems from SAP to
Lotus.  This is working fine, however, the URL that I have imbedded in
this long task description is 186 character long and it is cutting off
at 72 characters.  In essence, SAP is inserting a carriage return at the
end of 72 characters.  So the whole text for the URL is displayed but
Lotus is only treating the first 72 characters of the URL as part of the
URL.  The remainder of the URL stays as regular text.

I have looked at the WUG Archive and there do not seem to be any
satisfactory solutions as of yet.  Have any of you run into this=3F =20

I have tried using a variable for the URL in the task description with
option that is supposed to treat a multiline container element as a
continuous line but this still behaves the same way--only the first 72
characters are treated as a URL the remainder looks like regular text.

Thanks all and best regards,
Partha=20
