Outlook edited hyperlinks break

We send a lot of hyperlinks containing parameters to our own staff.

When copied from the browser address box, or automated from VB these work both on the sender and recipients' machines. If the hyperlink is edited, whilst it looks and acts ok at our end (Outlook 2000), we get a lot of complaints that the links are broken.

Our staff use a variety of methods to view mail that we know of:- IMP; OE; Outlook; Eudora; Netscape; hotmail, and I'm sure a few we don't.

Similar things have happened emailing to a CGI driven notice board.

Does anyone know what may be causing this, and what we need to do to prevent it happening again? My boss is inclined to think it is my website, not the links.
 
Generally speaking, encasing a hyperlink in < > will prevent mail clients from wrap-breaking them.

Whether this answers your question, I am uncertain. :)
