How to enter a hyperlink containing a space into an E-mail

Outlook 365 2016 2010 2007 2003
When you enter text into an e-mail, Outlook recognizes certain values, such as Web and UNC addresses (such as a network resource), and automatically makes them hyperlinks. However, after you enter a space, Outlook stops creating the hyperlink because it has no way of knowing whether you've finished the address and are now typing another word or whether the address contains spaces.

To manually specify that a group of words containing spaces is an address and should be represented by a hyperlink, simply surround the text with the left and right angle brackets.

That is to say, prefix the address with the < character and terminate it with the > character. For example, how to use the angle brackets to discern a Web address:

<http://www.example of an address with spaces.htm>.

A second way of entering an address with spaces that should be treated as a hyperlink is to insert the value %20 (the hex value for a space) for each space. Using this technique, the previous example address would be entered as follows:

http://www.example%20of%20an%20address%20with%20spaces.htm.
