Is there anyway to put in a clickable URL in an email using mail.app ???
It's nicer looking than adding superlong url's..........
thanks!

I guess you could try standard HTML. What if you put your link like the following line:
<A href="
http://url_here">clickable
word(s)</A>
I guess that might work.

Just start the string with "
http://"
; and it will format it as a clickable URL. It won't appear blue until it is received.

Thinking slightly outside the box you can use
<a href="
http://www.makeashorterlink.com"
; target="_blank">make a shorter link (dot) com</a>
example: these should take you to the same place, i.e. this thread.

i tried just typing it in via HTML [a href= etc. etc.] but that didn't work..........
Are yahoo users unable to accept html emails?
Is there a better way than the "makeashorterlink.com" way?
My idea would be to use, for example, the word "hello" for the link to my homepage.
Thanks!
