If you get an email where it is a web address but doesn't show as a link, f8 twice won't work. Chris

Generally what I do is copy using the f-8 method and the right arrow key. While it is tedious, this method is not much more than a minor annoyance. But here is my question, I have tried copying the link using the down arrow key (of course, after I have pressed f-8) and it doesn't always work. This happens especially when the URL is at the bottom of the e-mail. I have tried placing the cursor above the URL and then down arrowing, and that seems to copy the text above, instead of the URL. Have I made this confusing enough?
