Link won't paste into email correctly

Hi there, I have zoom meeting links on my website linked to text. for example REGISTER HERE when clicked on will take you to the zoom meeting registration. All work fine. 

When I copy and paste them from the website and send them in an email (MacMail), they paste in the same format, get sent and arrive in the recipient's inbox in the same format and again all work fine. 

BUT!!! 

When my boss does the same, from Outlook, although it pastes in the the same format , the recipient receives the entire long link except that the last two characters from the link are on a different line and are not in blue or underlined. Once you click on the link, it of course takes you to a 404. I've included a screenshot of what we see. Has anyone else experienced this problem? I would really appreciate some help with this. It's driving us mad. Thank you!

    Ditto same issue.  Is there a simple workaround.  It was always so simple??

    This seems to be on ongoing issue.  We use MailChimp to send our meeting announcements - and include the Zoom registration link the same way each time.  We had a regular user to had an issue with the link in the past — now I have sent out our meeting announcement for our July 2nd, 2025 meeting — and numerous members of our team got the 404 screen after clicking that link.  I finally brought up the Zoom registration page (from the same link that did work for me) — then did a copy of the URL from the navigation field of my browser.  The link is different from the one that I had copied from the Zoom scheduling page.  It “seems” to be working with that “kludge”!  It would be nice if this could be permanently fixed so we (referring to all of the above who reported this years ago - and those who haven’t bothered to report it) don’t have to waste so much time on it.
