Hi all,
Actually, Rajmund it is not off-topic because when I pasted the
incorrectly submitted URL into my 'run' dialog, it informed me that
there was no such page and it couldn't be displayed.
Therefore, I wrote the message to give the corrected URL so that the
list would not be clogged with many people asking for the URL again or
complaining that it didn't work or whining that they couldn't fine it.
I figured I was being helpful. The URL *was* typed incorrectly,
period! It had nothing to do with my email client. It had to do with
Windows conventions for typing URL's. I'm happy that your IOS device
was able to recognize the URL, but MSIE11 was not.
Since I knew that it wouldn't work in my email client as it had been
typed. I used a perfectly legitimate Windows command to 'run' the URL
and MSIE said it was incorrect. So, I changed the URL, 'ran' it again,
found the page, copied the correct URL to my clipboard by using f6 and
ctrl-c, and then pasted it into the message.
I also figured that this was a teachable moment, and advised as to the
correct format, across platforms, to list URL's. Now go unwrap that
1lb caramel and let me go about my business, please. <smiling>

hi,
Off topic message, what you've described, is an email client specific issue. My iPhone, for one, knew the originally sent link was a link. ,
