formatting URL on generated emails

[Andy Curtis]

 In the sendmail step, go into the text editor to create your text.  Change
the editor mode so you can see the Line format 2 byte fields.  Make the
first line of the text that contains your hyperink type * (star) then the
subsequent line(s) that contains the hyperlink need to have <blank>
formatting fields.

Press Exit and Save on the way out.

It has worked for me after about 2 days of messing abou, hence the quite
precis instructions.  Probably don't need to be so precise but who knows.
It's a complete pain I found and something to do with the SAPScript editor
reformatting the lines.
