well, it's not really encoding them, per se. some clients are smart enough to recognize that anything starting with http:// is a hyperlink, and allow you to click on them. some clients require it to be MIME encoded before it's clickable. some just don't allow hyperlink clicking altogether. your server (roadrunner) has little to do with it... it has more to do with your client and their client, and just a hair to do with their server. -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
