I don't really understand what your problem is with the first one. It's
quite a common convention in plain-text emails where, unlike HTML, there
is no formatting to turn arbitrary words into a link to a URL - the full
URL has to be included as part of the text. Rather than include long
URLs within the main text, which might make the it difficult to read,
the sender has included the URLs at the bottom like numbered footnotes.
The numbers in square brackets within the text refer you, the reader, to
the corresponding footnote to find the URL. That's just a convention for
human readability; there's no magic formatting in plain text which would
turn the words next to the reference into a link to the URL.
What are you expecting to happen that's not happening? Or what's
happening that you're not expecting?
The OP has said these are HTML messages (and he posted relevant code
excerpts), so the normal expectation is for the display text to be
hyperlinked to the URLs. In that case, the display text is what the
reader sees, and the URL, no matter how long, is not visible. His
complaint was that the hyperlinks don't work -- he mouses over and the
cursor changes shape as it should, but nothing appears in the SM status
bar and nothing happens when he clicks.
If you want more, read the thread as most people who want to help will do.
