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. ,
