Is there a way to put a hyperlink in an email using OE? The option is there,
but it is greyed out. I cannot find a way to turn it on. Thanks in advance
for any help rendered.

The following from Outlook Express Help.
To insert a hyperlink or HTML page in a message

1.. In the message window, click where you want to add the hyperlink or Web page text.

2.. To add a hyperlink, click the Insert menu, and then click Hyperlink. Select the file type, and then type the location or address of the link.

To add an HTML page, click the Insert menu, and then click Text from File. Change the Files of type box to HTML Files, and then find the file you want to add.

Tips
a.. If you cannot select the Hyperlink menu command, make sure HTML formatting is turned on by clicking the Format menu in the message window and then clicking Rich Text (HTML). A black dot appears by the command when it is selected.

Well, I can apparently just copy and paste a link, without doing all that.
What I was really looking for was a way to put in something like: click
"HERE" to see and make the "here" a hyperlink, rather than having the whole
thing scrolling across the page. Can that be done?

Copy a Hyperlink. Open a New Message window and type Click Here or whatever
you want. Highlight Click Here and then Insert | Hyperlink. Paste the link
into the bottom field | OK. Click Here is now underlined and is now your
link.

Note you have to save it to Drafts to test it.

Hi Steven,

Type you word or words like, click "HERE" to view msn, use mouse to highlight "HERE", choose Insert, on it's menu choose Hyperlink, input hyperlink info, click OK.

You should be able to click the "HERE" above.

A href="http://www.whatever_page.com\page.html"Click HereA

Change the URL to the correct info then paste it into the HTML.

Won't work for Plain Text messages of course, only HTML.

It's easy.
Make sure you are using HTML.
Type HERE.
Drag the cursor over it to highlight it.
Click Insert | Hyperlink.
