Hyperlink Ending with Exclamation Mark (!) in Outlook

I have a URL that ends in an exclamation mark. When I paste it into an e-mail message in Outlook the generated hyperlink does not include the exclamation mark. If I click link I end up on the home page of the target site, not the specific page referenced by the URL ending with the exclamation mark.

If I enclose the URL in angle brackets it works. The problem is that the audience that might be pasting such URLs in to Outlook does not know to add the angle brackets.

Is there any way to make Outlook include the ! in the hyperlink?

Hello all,

I am having the same issue where we receive links from SAP that end with an exclamation point at the end of the link. I just want to clairify that the only solution to this problem is to update the hyperlink itself.

There is no fix for Outlook or Office correct?

Thanks
