how do you embed a URL into an email sent through VB

[plshelpme]

I am sending emails through VB and I want to include a link to a website in the email body. I want the reader to just be able to double click on the url and be taken to the site, but everything i have tried is making the url just come through as plain text and not a link.

Any idea how this can be done.

Thanks

pls,

I think you need to embed your hyperlink in HTML format, like

For Microsoft, click <a href=&quot;

http://www.microsoft.com&quot;>here</a>

The mail client should then display the hyperlink, depending on how it decodes and parses the mail.

nope, i still get

For Microsoft, click <a href='[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.microsoft.com';>here</a>[/URL]

appearing in the email instead of just the link.
any other ideas?

i wasn't using the 'http:\\' bit before...and that was all i needed to get it to turn into a link, the '

http://www.'

was not enough.

thanks for the help, you pointed me in a better direction.
