Posting a link in e-mails.

[trt]

Why is it that when I copy and paste a link to a forum its OK and all you have to do is click on it for the story or information, but when I post it on an e-mail it dosent work?

I don't know, it works for me.

All i get when copied to e-mail is the words normal size but not in red etc and whoever I send too has to copy and paste.

it works for me - are you sure it's not working? Sometimes it doesn't work on your own screen when you've cut and pasted but works okay for the recipient when the email arrives.

Good point jno - if I post a link on here, it doesn't highlight itself until I've sent it and it appears on the thread.

sorry, didn't see your last post. It's not a secure site, is it? (ie beginning with https instead of http)?

[trt]

Yep sure it dosent work jno, even sent to myself to make sure.

What do you use for your email? as it's different for different email systems...

For example, in hotmail you'd type click here (or anything else you want) then highlight the words and click the little hyperlink icon on the bar above where you are typing the mail and then paste the link into the box that comes up and it will turn the words you highlighted into a link.... (the hyperlink icon would look like this http://dwightblackbur...p/image/hyperlink.jpg )

in that case you'll need some top-ranking expert like Chuck to explain it, because I can't...
