in reply to OT: Outlook wants to terminate links at whitespace

Just to be clear, you are looking for a UNC path, not a URL. Some browsers may interpret UNC paths, but this isn't a URL, as others have stated. In addition, the format for that should end up as: \\myserver\mydir space\dir

The string in the OP contains the correct format, but the "corrected path", listed at the end has three too many backslashes.)
