I'm sorry that you ran into this too Scott. I filed a bug report with Google in December but that just seems to be a black hole.

My need was to embed hyperlinks. My best work-around has been to send a text/plain or message/rfc822 email with the URL in plain text in the message.

It's also a bit of a challenge to get the URL formatted such that Gmail recognizes the entire text of the link and properly encloses it.
