I bet some clients would only use the first line when clicking the link, resulting in a broken URL
Maybe it’s purely for the entertainment
“If the link has wrapped onto a second line and you’re using Safari, unfortunately your flight has been cancelled”
I'm also deeply suspicious of that hyphen at the end of the first line. Is that part of the URL? Is it added by the browser's word-wrap? It appears *close* to the middle of the URL, but the second line is still longer, which suggests it's not auto-inserted.
This reminds me of a trip I took to Italy in about 2007, before smartphones and webmail. I took a pile of printouts of receipts. If I'd checked beforehand, I'd have seen that the car-rental receipt had no information about the rental but did contain a ~500-character base64 URL.
Yes, I went to a Milanese Internet café. Yes, I typed in 500 of those damn characters. No, it didn't work first time.
