The links without anything - i.e., bare links, like http://whatever work just fine in all versions of Eudora from 3 on up; not sure if they work in earlier versions or not. Bare links also work fine in most other modern clients. The problem with them arises when lines wrap in the middle of the link, because most clients don't read the portion of the link after the line break. The links with <>, like the links in the list footers, all work fine in every single e-mail client I've ever seen. They do NOT have a problem with line breaks because the e-mail client interprets everything between the <> as a link and disregards white space. The links with underscores almost universally fail; as I said, I've yet to see one that *does* work properly. They have the same problems bare links have but with the additional issue of having a trailing _ at the end of the link, making most browsers confused as hell and generating lots of nice 404s :) Post bare links if you don't want to post links with <>. -- the pickle FAQ <http://macfaq.org/index.shtml> _________________________________________________________________ -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
