Posting the links are fine, but don't expect people to open them: you have to 
get the interest of the people you're trying to reach. If all the information 
is behind a link, they may not bother opening the link. 

Also, some people may be offline when reading the email For example, I read y 
our email while on a flight. As it is, I can't get the details of your issue 
and you can be sure I will not remember to find this email again when I land...
