If it's the PC version, it may not work since Windows OE is actually a pretty bad email client.

Usually, if they're using higher resolutions and bigger window sizes, or maximize the window in question, the link will come through just fine. For the most part, it has nothing to do with window size. Mail servers automatically "break" lines at pre-set lengths. Different servers can break at different lengths. If an un-bracketed URL has been broken, window width won't help. A bit of FYI that would help everyone if everyone would heed: if you're going to send URLs in email, the "official" standard (it's in an RFC) is to enclose the URL in angle brackets: http://inserturlhere.com The angle brackets tell your email/web client where the URL starts and where it ends.

Re: MD: Broken URLs
I'm afraid I'll have to beg to differ, here. I personally run 3 mail servers, onsite, here at my personally owned and operated iSP, a 4th at my full time job, and 2 more at the ISP I helped set up a year before I started mine. Mail servers simply send whatever you feed them...they don't do any breaking up of lines. The sender's mail program may or may not break lines up as they wrap them, assuming the sender has their mail program set to do so at a regularly spaced interval. When I read the messages in a WYSIWYG type mailer, and expanded the size of the window, I was able to view and click on the entire link as it came through. When I left the window at it's original size, or when I read that same message on a text only console based mailer, the line got broken. You are right, however, that if they've already gotten a broken URL, they probably won't be able to follow it without a little manual cut and paste.
