URL Hyperlinking E-mail

Post by Bobby Boggs »

What do you have to do to get this to work for an E-mail?click here
Spamers do it all the time.Why can't I?

To be clear what I want to do is have the [click here] thing going for E-mail. Thanks <FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Bobby Boggs on 28 October 2003 at 11:41 PM.]</p></FONT>

Bobby;

To get it to do that you have to use Rich Text/HTML based mail.

Try this:

It's basic HTML.

It asks for a password.
I wonder it's your ISP?

I'll try it with my email:

[email][/email] to email to Joey Ace.

I tried this
[url=maimailto:Pamela@innova.net]click here[/url]
I typed the correct command from your instructions.
When you click on the highlighted click here, nothing happens and when I click edit, the command has changed from what I originally typed.(adds in an extra mai and changes the small case p to an upper case P. Also adds an extra command on the end.<FONT SIZE=1 COLOR="#8e236b"><p align=CENTER>[This message was edited by Bobby Boggs on 30 October 2003 at 05:55 PM.]</p></FONT>

I don't understand what you're doing to create the "maimailto" problem, Bobby. You must be doing something different from what I did.

Bob,thanks for taking the time to reply.I don't get it either.I type href="mailto:Pamela@innova.net">click here</a> and it changes what I type.(Unless)I cut and paste.No big deal really.It just bugs me that for some reason it's changing itself.Thanks for your help.The puter dummy..bb
