Instead of having that ugly long URL inside the body of the email, we would like to have some text that says “Click here” to link to the appropriate document / list item etc.

A hyperlink is simply created by typing the following code in  the body of your email:
<a href=”http://MyServerName/”>Click here</a>

Replace the http://MyServerName for some item you would like to link to.

Pretty much all email clients will read the html code and convert it into a nice looking link.
