    Did you try just using a URL? If that does not work, you need to add the HTML headers.

    Putting url directly will not work for some email readers they will show as text


    you will need html headers and use html in body of email

    You must format the mail with adding specific header, so that the recipient display it as HTML, not a plain text.

    Here are the HTML headers, assuming your using $headers to store your mail header info.

    
$headers .= 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
