Re: a puzzlement..
The hyperlink friend sent me was not clickable - (and I'm grateful for that -) But after reading your reply and Bob W's I have to back down on my thinking she was doing somethingseldomdone... However I couldn't open her link in the email she sent me without doing copy and past and then opening a browser. Thundebird doesn't check spelling in subject lines either. If I hadn't been in the room with her when she sent me the link, I surely would have deleted it without opening the mail. likewise, if I get email with NO subject or with "Hi" instant delete. ann On 6/29/2018 5:15 PM, Godfrey DiGiorgi wrote: It's a short cut, Ann … rather than writing a note that requires a text body, you just send the link as the subject line.

I used this short cut rather a lot when I was at the office … it's an efficient way to pass links around when you have been in progress in a related conversation already.

Re: a puzzlement..
I agree with Mark Roberts sentiments. Interesting question Ann. So I decided to try it from my gmail account. I typed http://www.theautodolly.com (one of my employer's web sites) into the Gmail subject line and sent it to two recipents: Myself via a different Gmail account and my work account which I access via Outlook on a Windows machine. As I expected, the subject line was NOT clickable in Gmail. However, I was surprised to see it as a blue underlined link at the top of the opened Outlook mail message. Clicking it did indeed take me to a web site. I don't believe I've ever seen that before and did not know it was possible. My next question would be whether there is some way to put code in a subject line so that a link APPEARED to go one place, but actually went another. THAT would be especially dangerous, as you might think you were going somewhere safe and instead be doing the opposite. Outlook does not show you the actual destination of a link in the subject line (anywhere that I can see).

Re: a puzzlement..
It's a short cut, Ann … rather than writing a note that requires a text body, you just send the link as the subject line. Clicking it in every system and browser I have available to me (iOS and macOS) just wakes up the web browser with a new page that the link points to. I used this short cut rather a lot when I was at the office … it's an efficient way to pass links around when you have been in progress in a related conversation already. Doing it via txt messages works too, but email is more secure.

Re: a puzzlement..
Whether or not putting a link in the subject like *works* is neither here nor there. It's not accepted practice to send links that way and I'd say it's a bad idea from a security standpoint for anyone *receiving* such a message to click a link in a subject line. Too easy to get in the habit of clicking such links and eventually get sent somewhere bad by any of the all-too-numerous scumbags on the net.
