Problem with URLS in AOL email

There's no chance he would be able to use another browser, and he's not willing to change from AOL. Is there anything I can do from TB to make URLs in my email to him clickable on his AOL browser? He claims he gets mail from other people and is able to click their URLs.

He claims he gets mail from other people and is able to click their URLs. About the only things -I- could suggest would be to encase the URL in the RFC1738-standard encapsulation, like so: URL:http://this.is.my.url/~coolsite or to use HTML, like: a href=http://this.is.my.url/~coolsite;http://this.is.my.url/~coolsite/a I don't know of the former will work, but I suspect the latter would, with AOL mail.

Problem with URLs
I apologize if this question has already been dealt with ad nauseum, but a friend of mine, who uses aol for his browser, can't seem to open URLs I send him by double-clicking on them. He's using, I believe, aol version 5, and I'm using The Bat! version 1.49. We're both on PCs. Anyone have any idea what the problem is and what the solution might be? Thanks for any help.
