Question

Can it be done? I often E-mail a customer and want to include a link to a specific web page, maybe a particular product. The best i can do is goto the required page and then cut and paste the page address into my e-mail.
That's fine if your customers know what to do with it, but it would be cool if it could say something like "click here for further details"

Cheers

Mikey

Just remember that not everyone can read HTML emails, and emails shouldn't really be sent in HTML anyway because of potential security risks. Also, any images you reference will not be available to people reading mail offline. HTML email is very bad

True. If you don't want to use HTML then a Rich Text formatted message will automatically make web addresses clicky, but you can't mask them with text.

Only kidding, Thanks for the replies, i'll just phone them and talk 'em through the web site

Electronic communication, what's wrong with paper ?

Just make sure your message is in HTML format.

Type "Click Here For Details", highlight the text, click Insert, Hyperlink & type in the web address you want to link to

This is in Oulook 2000, but should be pretty much the same for other versions.
