Email link to local windows resource with space

Question

How do I encode a link in a plaintext email to a local network resource with a space in it.

For instance this will only highlight up to the word "file" but not "file name"

\\SERVER\share\file name

Yet if I do this

\\SERVER\share\file+name
or
\\SERVER\share\file%20name

Then Windows Explorer does not recognize the path correctly.

I realize the different mail clients will handle things differently, but is there a standard way to encode a local network resource?

Thanks

Answer 1

Surround the resource with angle brackets <\server\share> Works for me in 2007 Marcus

Answer 2

I'm sure you could do it as an actual URL, like file://\SERVER\share/file+name.
