Links(URLs) sent from Outlook clients are being truncated and not working

When we receive URLs from an Outlook client, part of the URl is truncated and does not open correctly in a web browser. The URLs are invites to meetings and we have no way of responding to them. It seems to truncate the last 7 to 15 characters from the end of the URL. Any ideas on what is causing this?

If you view the email via webmail using a browser, is the url truncated?

No. If they open webmail and go to the message, the URL is fine and will open correctly. It only gets truncated when opening the message in Thunderbird.
