I just want to chime in here and say that if it is a website link or email address, I think it should display as a link when using plain text also.  I have not played around with 2006.1 enough yet as we have MAC users, therefore can not switch yet.  But I would hope if someone received an email with a website in it that it would be a link and go directly to that site if they click on it.

 

My 2 Cents,

Grant

Outlook has never _ and _ probably never will follow any sort of RFC very well.  Plain text is plain text IMO.  If you like the mix of HTML and plain text, then you use Rich Text.  Rich Text, however, is a mess as well - again Microsoft.

Be happy that they canot jsut clicking on links.  This is a safety boost if nothing else.

Compose an e-mail in say Outlook.  Make sure you are composing in "plain
text" and put in a link www.prudentialrand.com and it is highlighted in blue
and is clickable in most other mail clients - in IMAIL 2006.1 it is not able
to be clicked by the recipient of the e-mail.

Open this e-mail in the webclient if you are using it and Outlook then you
will see what I mean.

If they were clickable - how would that be plain-text?

If any of your Webmail users are getting any list or newsletter e-mail that
is sent in plain text, the links are not clickable. I've been told that even
when the text has the proper anchor tags, the links are just plain text.

I think this was a bit short sighted and should be fixed.I try to convince

all my users to send in plain text whenever possible, now when they do their
links don't work....
