Default Putting web site addresses into emails

Hi
I use Outlook Express to send/receive emails but I cannot find the relevant
newsgroup ( ie microsoft.public.outlookexpress ) . This group is the closest
so I hope someone from here can help me..please!!!


How do I insert a web address into an email so when the email receiver
clicks on the address , the address is activated?
I see its commonplace in many emails but how it is done eludes me.
eg.
I will insert a web address in this email thus:

www.google.com.au

Clicking on the above does not bring up the google web page. Try it!!

This is driving me crazy!!!

Please help

John Wild

I always have trouble in inserting web page addresses into emails. I think
you will have to type this one into your browser. Enjoy!

Buggar!!!
I copied an email (which I sent to "Neil") into this post. Before I sent the
copy to the newsgroup ( and the email was still in the "send to group" mode
and I was adding to it) the "web address we discussed at Jans place
http://antwrp.gsfc.nasa.gov/apod/archivepix.html" was a purple colour and
clicking on it produced no result. When I sent it to the group and then
looked at it in the "sent" folder, the web address changed to blue and
clicking on it brought up the specified web address. So I gather that when
I am typing, editing or adding to an email, web addresses do not respond to
"clicking" and thus I cannot test the accuracy of them at that time. After
the email has been sent they do.
So, if this is correct I no longer have a problem.
Sorry to waste your time
Cheers
John Wild

Hi
I use Outlook Express


This newsgroup is for support of Outlook
97/98/2000/2002/2003/2007 from the Office suite of products. Outlook
Express is actually a separate program despite the similar name.

For help with your OE questions, try an OE newsgroup such as
news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsof...xpress.general (for OE
6), or
an OE help website such as http://insideOE.tomsterdam.com. If you're
accessing the Microsoft newsgroups through the MS Product Support
Services "Community Newsgroups" web interface, click
http://www.microsoft.com/communities...ress.ge neral
Good luck!

Hi Gordon
Thanks for the links .. they look excellent. You might have been able to
deduce fron the thread consisting of messages to myself that I no longer
have the described problem but your links will no doubt be great for my next
( as yet unknown) problem.
Thanks again
jdw

Correct.

Btw, a tip for you:

If the message is saved as draft, you can preview it (on the saved draft)
with
all links active; and you can test (and/or correct) them before send the
email.
