Your problem has nothing to do with Zope at all... You'll want to send a 
HTML-Mail, but you send only a plain-text-mail.

You have to options:

  1) Be kind to your customers and stay on plain-mail-mode. Insert the 
hyperlinks as they are: Most email-clients will render them as hypertext 
automatically ... => http://www.zope.org

  2) If you want to insist on sending HTML-Mails (booo..;), add 
something like:

<dtml-sendmail mailhost="MailHost">
To: <dtml-var sender>,
From: <dtml-var sender>
Content-type: text/html
Subject: Corrective Action Report Update <dtml-var capa_report_no>

to your mail-header...
