Hey Lee, I'm looking for a clarification just in an effort to help Mark out.
You're indicating this is an application limitation which is found in the specific email client, i.e. Mail.app (OS X) or Outlook Express (OS 9). What I understood from Mark is links are 100% functional when sending from Mac user to Mac user, no matter what email client you use (to a point). Still, it doesn't seem to be an application related issue. I've had dead links between Mac users before and have found that the Internet control panel or System Preferences have not had their default email or browser set. I was guessing that windoz users have something similar that needs to be configured but I don't have a clue. I'm real curious about this one. Hope you can shed some light.
