I have been using apple mail for many years and regularly add hyperlinks to emails. This morning I tried to add the following long hyperlink to an email and apple will not allow it. It does not like the link for some reason and will not make the "OK" button available. I double checked the link - three times, and it is an active link that works. And per usual my apple email is using Rich Text. Is there a limit to the link length that apple mail will allow? The link and Apple's response are below.

Appreciate any insight. I am running Ventura 13.4.1 on a 2021 M1 MBP.

Link I am trying to add: https://www.google.com/search?q=breakaway+images+photography&rlz=1C5CHFA_enUS878US878&oq=&aqs=chrome.2.69i60j69i57j69i59j69i61j69i60j69i65l2j69i60.247260j0j4&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8#lrd=0x89b637eac2dbc69d:0x98111c76253c1348,1,,,,

If you test by sending yourself the link as you post above— you will see it returns as hot...

This is not so unusual.

Thank you Leroy. Yes the link works. What does not work is that Apple Mail will not allow me to save it as a hyperlink. That is the issue I am having. If I can't save it as a hyperlink I can't send it as a hyperlink. Tx

As long as the address contains the prefix https://www. the link will resolve itself.

I do not see this as an issue.
