PS:

Jeff, I've forgotten to mention that I set up Claws (another MUA), to
display plain text, even if a mail provides HTML. I do not use the HTML
plugin that is available for Claws.
Since you send a multipart mail, HTML and plain text, the link by
default is displayed broken by it's plain text part. I would need to
select the HTML part of your mail, converted to plain text by Claws, by
keeping the link intact. OTOH if you copy the link in Evolutions's
composer after selecting "Plain Text, Preformatted", the link is ok when
displaying it with Evolution and other MUAs (at least with Claws).
HTML _never_ is the better choice. All MUAs I'm using provide options to
automatically wrap plain text lines, but also to write or insert
unwrapped lines, needed to e.g. paste scripts, the output of commands
etc..
