URL formatting in Text email
We have a web application that sends plain text emails (not able to send html emails!)
The emails that it sends contain a link such as:
http://www.ourwebsite.com.au/updatedetails.asp?email=user@ourwebsite.com.au&guid=7C978A48-777-DD11-BAD6-000C2777863E
this is for users to click to update their contact information. The issue is that in Outlook only the part "http://www.ourwebsite.com.au/updatedetails.asp?email" is formatted as a hyperlink. How can I make the whole URL appear as a (blue underlined) hyperlink??

I believe it will work if you put angle brackets around your url and nothing else:
<http://www.ourwebsite.com.au/updatedetails.asp?email=user@ourwebsite.com.au&guid=7C978A48-777-DD11-BAD6-000C2777863E>
Let us know if this works for you - difficult to test without using the same 3rd party app as you ;-)
