Unfortunately, in come cases, different margins are being used and this causes breaks in the text, that make the links invalid.

As any time when you have hardcoded carriage returns in the text you want to generate, specially when the text has some expanding macros inside, the line lengths of the final output are nearly unpredictable.

The cure, of course, is to remove the hardcoded carriage returns, and send the email as HTML - the recipient's mailer software will take care of the display. There were a few threads around here how to send mail as HTML, and you can search the one that fits what you use (Outlook, MAPI or whatever).
