Some email clients do not handle well URLs that wrap across lines; that
is, they fail to make them clickable in their entirety.
This can confuse WP users who are emailed a URL to reset their passwords,
because clicking does not lead to a valid URL. See this wp-hackers
thread:

Core could fix this for several (most? all?) problematic email clients by
simply enclosing the URL in angle brackets (the less than and greater than
signs) before sending it.
I attach a tentative patch to get us going.
See also a couple of mentions/recommendations of the angle brackets as
delimiters for URIs in plain text:
