Wouldn't that link be hard-coded into that 'predefined e-mail message'?

Producing html that shows as a link in some viewer that supports hyperlink
techonolgy isn't very hard. Just open any web page and select "View
Source"... there should be plenty of text in there that, when viewed thru
IE, show as links.

If it has to be dynamic and support "on the fly" changes, you can "bookmark"
a section of that email using pipe characters, or similar... and when the
time comes to merge that 'predefined e-mail message' with your output, a
simple search/replace should do the trick.

If this is way off, I guess I'm not grasping how that email is "generated"
in the first place.
