So I’ve since discovered…
- the “%3E” character in an HTML encoding reference <http://www.w3schools.com/TAGS/ref_urlencode.asp> and it represents the “greater than” character or “>”.
So, what you’re seeing is an unconverted end-of-link character. We use them to wrap links here because many mail applications understand that those very long URLs that wrap between lines should be treated as one link when enclosed between “<” and “>”.
Does anyone know why Word might be adding this?
