title: How to deal with long links in HTML-emails
body: <p>I've searched the web on this and I can find two solutions:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Use a URL-shortner.</li>
  <li>Use brackets <code>&lt;</code> <code>&gt;</code> to allow insertion of whitespace. This only applies to plain-text emails.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I'm sending HTML emails that contains sensitive information, like password recovery links and auto-authentication links. These secure links are, by their nature, quite long. Easily longer than 70 characters or whatever arbitrary limit is imposed on e-mail bodies.</p>
  
  <p>Obviously I can't use any form of URL-shortning because it would circumvent any secure cryptography technique I've used for the links.</p>
  
  <p>I suppose the largest issue is that the links aren't wrapped nicely by email clients. The nice word-wrapping is supported in CSS3 technique, so there is no way MS Outlook will ever support this.</p>
  
  <p><strong>How do I make it so the links are not visually disruptive and possibly easy to copy-paste in case of email client malfunction?</strong></p>
  
  <p><em>Example</em></p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>If the link doesn't seem to work, try copy-pasting it to your browser:

  <p>Additional notes:</p>
  
  <p>I do not want my links to expire. If I want them to expire at all I'd have a time frame of months, not hours. These links are not just password recovery links.</p>
