Not sure whether I fully understand your problem, but this should do 
what you describe (note that my or your mailer will probably add some 
line breaks to the long string, you need to get rid of them before 
trying the code below...):

CellPrint[
  TextCell[Row[{Button["Buttontext", Null], " ",
     "These sentences form a very long text. These sentences form a \
very long text. These sentences form a very long text. These \
sentences form a very long text. These sentences form a very long \
text. These sentences form a very long text. These sentences form a \
very long text. These sentences form a very long text. These \
sentences form a very long text."}], "Text"]]
