when you get an email with a URL address in it, it isn't always in "blue" and can just click on it to go there? you have to hi-light, copy and paste on the address line and then GO? Huh? Why is that? How should you send someone an address on the net?

I sent an email from work to home as plain text and the link is in blue and underlined. The email header reads (Plain Text).
I believe (and not sure) it is controlled within IE Tools/Internet Options/Advanced/Browsing Underline Links Always.
I could be wrong but there is nothing in my email options (Outlook98) to set that feature.

It depends on the mail client. Some will detect if it is one in a plain text mail, others require the HTML code.

Most messages that come in that way, come from someone using AOL.

Hi Mikey -- Not sure if this happened to you, but I had a user uninstall Netscape Mail and installed Outlook Express. Once that occurred, their links in Outlook Express did not work because Netscape was uninstalled.

I am unaware of what your exact situation is, but I thought I throw that out there. If this is the case, I can forward you the Microsoft links to fix this issue.

Regards,
Sun W.
