Sorry, could not duplicate your problem.

My guess is that somewhere along the smtp/pop/imap path there is a virus
checker / phishing checker / spam checker that is removeing the links since
the message is not tagged as HTML but looks like HTML.

Sendmail may be encoding it differently.

Please feel free to contribute better documentation. Did you check the
ActiveState's Cookbook and wiki.tcl.tk for examples?

I did make some small changes to your code since to make it work for me.
Here is what I have.

proc SendEmail {fileName to} {

  set P [catch {
    set token [mime::initialize -canonical text/plain -file $fileName]
    smtp::sendmessage $token \
          -atleastone 1 \
          -servers $::MY_SMTP_SERVER \
          -header [list To $to] \
          -header [list From $::WEB_TESTER] \
          -header [list Bcc $::ADMIN] \
          -header [list Subject "Header Info"]
           mime::finalize $token
  } catchResult]
  puts "$P CATCH: $catchResult"
}
