Did everyone know that if you put the protocol in front of a machine 
name or IP address in an email message, the recipient can simply 
control-click on the URL to automatically fire up the appropriate 
helper (Netscape, Fetch, etc.) and send it there?

For example: <http://www.electric-outlet.com/>

Try it - hold down the Command (Apple) key, and click anywhere 
between the < and > above (may require Internet Config and ICeTE 
extension, or OS 8.5 or higher).

It only works if the http:// or ftp:// or telnet:// or whatever is in 
front.  It is the little things that make me such a huge fan of the 
MacOS....
