When you go to the URL the cursor changes from a arrow to a hand. It used to launch AOL when selected but I uninstalled AOL and went to another ISP. Now it does nothing when I select it. When I right click it I get a menu with "copy shortcut", "save target as", "select all", and "add to favorites" selectable. The system (gateway) came preinstalled with AOL so there's something somewhere telling it to launch AOL and since I uninstalled AOL it doesn't know what to do. Once again, this is only with Outlook Express. When I use Internet Exlorer and read the mail I CAN select the URL and it goes to the website. Thanks again.
