When I send URLs in email I assume my recipients will copy and paste them into their web browsers, and it never occurred to me until last night that my Standard Operating Procedure might be improved upon. The "impress your friends with your clever new trick" factor had a momentary zing, but not enough to send me off to study Mozilla.
A friend gave me a license for Opera 6.03 for Mac because he really likes the Windows version (7.x). Unfortunately the Mac version lacks "mouse gestures," one of the most appealing features in the newer Windows Opera, so I haven't immersed myself in it. After I figure out some of my higher priority computer challenges I will add, "Can Opera do HTML email? If not, check out Mozilla" to my list. Thanks again, Lee.
