59398 2002-07-03 08:10:00 Sorry, the crystal ball has fogged and we cannot make out what e-mail program you are using . . . . .

Therefore it would be hard to advise . . . .

For instance in Eudora email program, that is set by the person sending the e-mail, as below . If you are using Incredimail, Pegasus Mail, MDaemon, Outlook, Netscape Mail, Outlook Express etc etc the instructions will differ, but many will still relate to the sender .


Creating a Hyperlink in a Message

(Sponsored and Paid modes only)
Eudora lets you create a hyperlink in an outgoing message; that is, convert a piece of text or a graphic into a link to a URL, so when your recipients click the text or graphic, their browser opens and takes them to that URL .
To create a hyperlink, do the following:

1 . Type the text you want to link in your outgoing message .

2 . Select the text to highlight it or insert a graphic file using the Insert then Picture command under the Edit menu and select the inserted graphic .

3 . From the Text submenu under the Edit menu, choose Make Hyperlink, or click the insert Hyperlink icon on the message toolbar .

4 . In the URL field of the Hyperlink dialog box, enter the full address of the URL, for example, <http://www . eudora . com>

5 . Click OK .

The text or graphic is now linked, highlighted, and underlined in the message . When your recipient receives the message, opens it, and clicks on the hyperlink, their browser or other application will open and go directly to the URL you specified .

59400 2002-07-03 12:05:00 I have XP as well. If you mean youcannot connect to those Heavy Blue Addresses Like those in Susan B's post, I had that problem as well. Damned if I can exactly remember how we fixed it. I think it was something as simple as putting in. or taking out, a tick in a box. I think, again, it was something to do with the Internet Connection & Outlook Express not talking to each other. I am not sure if this is right but. doesn't the E-mail address go thro OutlookExpress, whilst the www & httl (?) addresses have to go thro somewhere else to get out?? Does this all make sense to any of the more Knowledgeable people out there. ?:| ?:|
