But that's not the way HTML and web browsers work. You click or double- click a link (doesn't matter) and it launches the URL. Can you ctrl-click it to get more options, including opening in a new window? Yes. Perhaps such an option in email would be good, too, but that is not the default action. My main point was that here we have someone saying the clicking in email doesn't work the way they like, and yet we have messages from people wanting HTML mail style things all the time who likely think clicking on the URL in email to launch the URL is just fine the way it is. Everyone wants what they want, and CTM (and other mail program makers) may not be able to please everyone. We all get to compromise somewhere along the line. Ben Kennedy sez: >We're not talking about web browsers (or shoes) here. :) Exactly. Of course, when the next "why doesn't such and such HTML stuff work in my email program?!?!?" comes up, I expect you to tell them the same thing: we're talking email programs and not web browsers. I wonder what kind of response you'll get? :) >Terrible legacy. A text editing region is not an HTML form, so I have no >expectation of it to behave like one. Precisely. I think we're actually in line here. Like I said, my point was (trying to be tongue-in-cheek and maybe I missed :) ) mainly that a bunch of people like the HTML-like features in email. For myself, I'd rather have them act like you're saying. But, I'm pretty much beaten down by the tide now and have accepted that at least I can turn HTML off and choose to view in a browser or not. Other HTML-like stuff I just deal with. I don't think switching to another email program -- even if I wanted to, and I don't -- would act differently now for URLs and email addies in the text. Again -- if a ctrl-click menu pop-up can be devised, that'd be cool. Double-click to launch like the HTML lovers like and ctrl-click to get a menu to copy the link/address, among other things. :) -- Michael Lewis Off Balance Productions [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.offbalance.com
