This is outside the scope of the list, but it is not necessary to be sending in html because the message when recieved will have the link in it as active. The only time you need to compose in html is if you want to send mark up such as: <a href="http://www.comcast.net";>go to comcast</a> and only have it show up as go to comcast Additionally, you cam embed images and scripts as well. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Doug Billiar" <natemaster@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Friday, April 23, 2004 3:10 PM Subject: RE: Help Please with links? Hi Folks, Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I do believe to create an active link in a message from a URL, you must be sending your message in HTML format. If you send using plain text, no conversion will take place.

You can either copy it or type it in. It has to be mailed before it will work as a link. If you want to see what I mean, type a link in a message and mail it to yourself, and then you will see that it works. Walter Siren ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andrew J.
