Well, both of the last two links, above, opened fine on my Ti-Book, 
using Eudora, with, or without the enclosures.

In the URL at the top, there are spaces at the ends of lines. I have 
BBEdit on here, and as a result, under the 'Services' menu I have a 
'Format' sub-menu. It includes: "Remove line endings", "Trim line 
endings", "Remove Quotes", etc. Very handy.

My guess is that the original poster's email program was set to use 
'hard' wrap. As the original [multi-line] URL had to have to 
'backspaces' in order to 'join' the lines completely. Trimming line 
endings didn't work, a sure sign of a hard wrap.
