Is there a certain method of sending links within HTML emails, to show them "inline"?

In my web app, I send HTML emails to members, which contain links. Pretty standard stuff. However, I was chatting with one of my users who mentioned the links appear beside the link text. Something like this:

Hi user, click here to check this out < http://www.checkthisout.com >.

Instead of appearing like:

Hi user, click here to check this out.

Yet, the user claims they do receive the latter from other sources (though, my Gmail account formated the links like the second example). Is there a certain way links must be embedded for them to more reliably be linked as in the latter exampl开发者_Python百科e?

(note: I'm using .Net/C# to send messages.)

Many email client will actually do this automatically. I know the one I use at work tends to pull the url out of the link and place it to the side. Annoying I know but you can't control everything, so you have to just deal with things as such.
