I agree this lack of control-click to get the choice of copying the URL to clipboard or see it displayed is bad. I don't recall I used it much in X, but if it was there and not in 2004, that's a loss of functionality, which is also bad.
It seems to me there are quite a few issues with the complex HTML rendering engine that need to be fixed. Entourage used to use Internet Explorer's engine for this. I know they're still using some version of that engine, but since IE is phased out and may no longer even be included in future versions of the OS, I suppose it must be included somewhere in the Entourage application itself now. It does not seem to be a separate unit in the Office subfolder. -- Paul Berkowitz MVP Entourage Entourage FAQ Page: <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/faq/index.html> AppleScripts for Entourage: <http://macscripter.net/scriptbuilders/> PLEASE always state which version of Entourage you are using - **2004**, X or 2001.
