1.  Click on TOOLS at the top of your screen
2.  Click on OPTIONS
3.  Click on the SEND tab
4.  Under "Mail sending format" click "Plain Text Settings..."
5.  Adjust the "Automatic wrap at" box to a higher number, perhaps 100
6.  Click the "APPLY" button
7.  Done; close the windows.

The 100 value will allow most URLs to be sent without fragmentation.  =
This
may not be high enough for things like some Yahoo map locations, but =
that
is not a problem because you can send the maps directly from the Yahoo
map web page(s).

This URL is 83 charaters long:
http://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=3DGET&db=3D=
cchouk&id=3DI00001

With the "Automatic wrap at" the default 76, you would have seen:
http://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=3DGET&db=3D=
cchouk&
id=3DI00001

This URL is my entry in my GEDCOM on WorldConnect Project.

You're welcome.
