Can I > force it to be a link? If you're sending an HTML email then you have to write the links yourself ("<a href="..." blah). If you're sending plain-text email then you cannot specify links. Text inside your plain-text email which looks like a valid URL _may_ be presented as a link by the __recipient's mail client__. To give the mail client a big clue stick you should use the full URL, ie http://www.example.com rather than just www.example.com. -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * /* Most people can't understand how others can blow their noses differently than they do. -- Turgenev */
