Not necessarily Keith. There are some very popular Programs that do not
recognize [EMAIL PROTECTED] as a 'clickable' E-Mail address. Angel pointed
out AOL as one of them, and I know that Eudora and MS Outlook Programs do
not, while Agent and OE do, so I don't know why some do, and some don't.
You've brought up a good point though, and as Angel has suggested, I've
since taken my MailTo:'s out of the templates I use for TBUDL at least. :o)
