You could put "" (U+2060, WORD JOINER) or, failing that,
"" (U+FEFF, ZERO WIDTH NO-BREAK SPACE) after the "-".
WORD JOINER stops word breaks and has zero width; ZERO WIDTH NO-BREAK
SPACE does the same thing, much more descriptively, but it has another
role as the byte-order mark, so WORD JOINER was added in Unicode 3.2 as
the preferred, non-overloaded alternative. Some software may not
recognise WORD JOINER but will recognise ZERO WIDTH NO-BREAK SPACE, but it
would be more ideologically correct to try WORD JOINER first.
(And if all you see from my suggestions is "", it will be because your
mail program is interpreting the numeric character references: reconstruct
them by changing "U+nnnn" Unicode character references to "&#xnnnn;".)
