Outlook 2003 cuts off lines

Hi!

I synchronize my PDA daily and as part of its software, Newsbreak, I can
send myself emails of interesting stories with URL links to look up online
later when I get home and connect.  When I load them into Outlook 2003 and
send them to myself, very long URLs appear correct in the Outbox version of
the emails.  When I end up receiving the emails back INTO Outlook, it cuts
off lines beyond a certain length, thereby rendering the URLs broken.

Now I can look in the Sent Items and click the good version of the URL but I
would really love to know how you keep Outlook 2003 from hatcheting the
lines in my received messages so I can do things normally.. I have looked
everywhere I can think of in Options but nothing jumps out at me as to
formatting incoming emails so the lines aren't cut wherever Outlook feels
like doing it.

Any help is appreciated.

are they plain text messages? does outlook actually cut off the line or
break it when it wraps?

They seem to be plain text messages.. the beginning (1st line) of the URL
shows up as clickable text, but then it breaks and wraps the rest of the
long URL to following lines.  When it comes in to the outbox from the PDA,
the URL is intact, but once it goes out and comes back to me in my inbox,
the URL has been broken up.. minorly annoying... and I have the thing set to
read messages as plain text... (I think, Outlooks "Settngs" are a tad bit on
the sparse side for such a widely distributed email program)

Thanks for the response
