669797	2008-05-15 22:27:00	Copy from where?	pctek (84)
669798	2008-05-15 22:28:00	Because thats the format web browsers use (mailto) So, when you click on the link the email client opens	Speedy Gonzales (78)
669799	2008-05-15 22:44:00	Cissy: Are you just curious or do you not want your text to appear that way? If the latter is the case, once you have typed the address, pressed the space bar and typed the next word, put your cursor at the end of the address then press the backspace. That would normally remove the last letter of the word, but in this case it will remove the link and restore it to normal case. Hopefully that will help?	Roscoe (6288)

669801	2008-05-16 00:05:00	Because thats the format web browsers use (mailto) So, when you click on the link the email client opens So we copy the short cut which now includes mailto,which buggers up email addy. Clever stuff.	Cicero (40)
669802	2008-05-16 06:06:00	I seem to have missed why this happens!	Cicero (40)
669803	2008-05-16 06:28:00	Well dont copy and paste it Thats why you were born with hands and fingers So you could type it in	Speedy Gonzales (78)
669804	2008-05-16 07:12:00	If you used Firefox, a right click would give you a "copy email address" choice in the menu - which doesn't include the "mailto:" like IE "copy shortcut" does.	bevy121 (117)
669805	2008-05-16 07:31:00	Yep, it's a shortfall of the software, any modern email client/web browser wouldn't suffer from his problem.	sal (67)
