Eudora Pro is a good example of what I was discussing. When you are able to just click on the URL it has been encoded within the text. It is a transparent feature on most mail clients these days. Don't worry about how it does it just be grateful it does. In most cases where you do see formatting characters in other E-mails I'd be willing to bet someone has forwarded something to you that was mess up to begin with Dave
