All of my mailers cannot handle the form of the url that you are sending out... the reason once more is simple... The code you are sending out is: <URL:<a href="http://www.test.com/page.html%3E";>http://www.test.com/page.html></a> instead of the correct: <URL:<a href="http://www.test.com/page.html";>http://www.test.com/page.html</a>> In essence you are including the second ">" within the url whereas you should leave it out. Turnpike (and any receiving mailer) correctly interprets the %3E as part of the url and feeds it to the browser... however there's no address that corresponds to that (unless of course your file is appropriately named: page.html%3E :-) Phoebus
