    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.

    I think that's what they don't want to do.

    a similiar thread was in GB about a month ago...

    it also discussed why html email is the devil.

    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!
