I believe this is what you are looking for.

The text in the quotes is the actual like and the >word< is what he would
see to click on.

Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- AOL & URLs
Good Morning:
Problem: I exchange email containing URLs with a friend who uses dialup AOL
version 7.0; he is unable to bring up URLs displayed in email received from
my
cable-modem computer which uses OL 2000 and IE 6.
The specific URL now in question is
http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/28/26042.html which appears in
underlined
purple font even as I type this email. (I just now brought up the site by
clicking on that URL; it is correct.)
Info:
1. Another computer in my home uses a dialup connection to earthlink. That
computer uses OE 6 and IE 6. Both computers in my home bring up the above
URL by
clicking on it, and also bring up URLs provided by my friend.
2. In email I've sent to him I have entered the URL by using copy/paste
from
the site, and also by typing it in. Neither approach works for the AOL
computer. Both approaches work in my two computers.
3. When I look at email originated in my cable-modem computer, sent from it,
and
received in the earthlink computer, the URL appears normal in all three
instances; purple font that is underlined.
4. However, the same URL appears in his AOL dialup computer as normal text;
black font that is not underlined.
5. He has also tried to copy/paste the URL in AOL software without success.
6. His home is about twenty-five miles from mine. We use the same telephone
system to reach dialup ISPs.
7. I uns***ed a list about three months ago that used two forms of URLs;
one
for AOL computers and another for other computers. The URL for AOL computers
was
enclosed in delimiters. The AOL string looked something like this; << aol
...
URL ... >>
Supposedly AOL users could reach the URL by pasting the entire string into
the
AOL address area.
Finally, The Question! Anyone know how to make his AOL software bring up the
URLs I send to him?
TIA... very much!
