Send Mail with Long URL - Link getting split w/CR/LF in Email

I am using a send mail step and including a long URL so that the user can

access an Iview directly from the URL Link. The URL which is about 250 characters long is getting split across multiple lines in the MS Outlook Email therby losing the link (only the first line underlined). I am loading the container element contianing the link from a standard text and appending the necessary IView parmater to the end. I tried enclosing my URL within an href but that did not work wither. My current workaround is to code my own method

which sends the email but would rather using the standard Send Mail Step.

Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.
