Hi! I am using Outlook Express. When I send an e-mail message with a URL in it: " the link appears incorrectly for the recipient. Only part of it appears underlined and the rest follows on the next line or two and is not underlined. When recipient clicks on the link, an error occurs, of course. Has anyone ever seen this before and is there a solution? Thanks much.
 
Hi Snix1, I had a similar problem. A co-worker emailed me a confirmation about a trip that include my name an url, but when I forwarded it to my home address the link was partially chopped off. The link worked OK on my office computer, but not at home. At work we use ms outlook, but at home I have eudora 4.3. I would also like to know what happens?
Good Luck
Mark
 
Sometimes you have to piece it together, through notepad or even in the browser address window.

I'm beyond all that now, I use Becky2 for email and there is no problem with url's even if splayed all over the page with >> and << around them. Just right click and you get choices, like: OPEN or SAVE. Greatest email program I've found and I've tried quite a few.
