Such issues have been discussed fairly often in this and other newsgroups.
Check past discussions via Google Groups or otherwise.

Stop setting fixed widths. Remove all width attributes from HTML and width
property settings in CSS. Consider adding some percentage or em settings
then, _if needed_.

An email address isn't that long, so if you remove the fixed widths, you
solve the problem (or, rather, stop creating it). An email address should
seldom be broken across lines anyway. If you feel you ever need to do that,
reconsider the design decisions that led to such a situation.

In future, post a URL, not bulks of code. Hang around and you'll see reasons
to this.
