  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.

  It's nicer looking than adding superlong url's..........

  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.

  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!
