Error 403 in Emails

403 ERROR: Sorry, you are not authorized to view this page.
Sometimes very long links in emails can get wrapped to multiple lines depending on your email client, client settings, and the message. This may occur when a recipient's email client sets a fixed width (usually around 70 characters) for the message that is narrower than what the sender used to compose the message. When this happens, the link is wrapped to fit and the second half of the link may be ignored. In that event you might encounter the 403 error pictured below.




Bad Link
The examples below show two different links that have been wrapped. In this event, manually paste both halves of the URL into your browser's address field with no spaces in-between as in the image below.

Good Link
The examples below show how the links should look and function when displayed correctly.
